Pros

I work in sogeti inside capgemini. I dont know how this matters. But I find that too much politics in sogeti, I like the work-life balance of this company. For the first time in my life I was able to join a gym, due to flexible timings here. Good benefits, you wont be slaughtered for work. These guys get good projects automatically, but dont know how to handle them. For now I have got good projects in my domain so i am enjoying the work. But I wont stay here too long otherwise I will also become a dinosaur :P In short , if u want to grow technically u should not be here especially in Sogeti. If you want a mid-career break and spend more time with family, you can come here. If you just want to have fun,flirt with girls and if you are plain lazy who dosent have any direction in life, then you have reached seventh heaven!!!!

Cons

no process are followed. Most apps get rejected by client. In my project there are 5 managers and only 2 guys writing code. Problem here is everybody wants to be manager and have fun while pushing all work to junior programmers. Nobody wants to work hard. People here especially Mumbai M2 are like zombies. Everybody here has an attitude problem, they underestimate the pitfalls of a project and everything then blows up in their face (People think they can do the whole project but they cant even write a single line of code). Too much political games in Sogeti. Most of the managers are prehistoric dinosaurs who are here for so many years becoz they just dont have talent to get a job elsewhere. Instead of giving these managers appraisal, their salary should be cut AND BE GIVEN TO PROGRAMMERS!!!!

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
