Capgemini reviews

Capgemini in Austin, baits people with higher than average salaries and misleads about the positions being filled. They then demand that employees meet impossible, contractual, deliverables. This requires working 80 hours a week on a regular basis. Because most employees are exempt salaried employees, there are virtually no labor laws to protect them from being overworked. The leadership uses fear and demoralization as motivational tools, verbally "whipping" people that miss due dates. The stress level of the Austin office is off the charts. 3 people have been sent to the hospital in the past year, due to the stress and unrelenting pressure. As if the commute was not bad enough (the office is in downtown Austin), the office conditions are dismal. Everyone gets a 3x5 table to work from. No privacy and no personalization. Feels very much like a sweatshop. The leadership team are clock watchers and there is no work-life balance. Any manager that tries to address the conditions for their employees, gets shunned and shot down quickly by senior staff, being labeled as a "weak manager".

Well I won`t even get into the lack of good quality projects, lots of time on bench, fake recruitment drives, incompetent managers and senior leadership with no vision, enough has been said about these. But what flummoxed me the most is the way they treat their ex employees. they intentionally delay the full and final settlement by a couple of months and withdrawing pf is a huge pain. They sometimes delay it by more than 5-6 months. This is highly unprofessional! By the way, now a days I see adds by this company in almost everywhere and I can`t stop laughing out laud. Why spend so much on adds and stupid TV reality shows instead of concentrating on their own employees?
