Capgemini Engineering reviews

Company completely transformed from a technology and people oriented(Hughes days) company into a services based and revenue oriented. The projects are won by quoting dead cheap prices at fixed cost and expect the engineers to slog. There is clear communication from management to work late hours and weekends. Performance reviews are based on nepotism and not based on actual performance which is a common case with most of Indian SW services firms. There is no proper projections, tracking on hiring. Over hiring and then firing became a common practice at Aricent. Overall it is no different than a wipro, tcs and infy. May be worse in some aspects.|

Upper management is severely incompetent. There is constant in-fighting among the executive team. Most are too concerned with making money by bringing the company public, despite the fact that it is not ready. Finger-pointing is the name of the game here. The concept of ACCOUNTABILITY is absent among 80% of the company. Highly political - incompetent employees get promoted if aligned with the 'right' manager. Internal communication is dismal. Morale is very low. Work/life balance is non-existent. Cheap doesn't even begin to describe it. Processes are old and a nightmare to change. Real talent, when hired, tends to burn out quickly. Even KKR makes mistakes, and Aricent is one of them.
