Pros

bro i had worked in chennai capgemini karapakkam(standard chartered bank)4th floor , private banking dept ...i faced a such dirty politics, there was a development lead called vijayarajan ramakrishnan he is technically nill,1.he didnot know string class replaceFirst() purpose.2.unnecessarly put apressure on consultants, because he wnats to survive, that is the reason he can show our work as a he did.3.development lead can put pressure on every day (yes first time when consultant saw the project how he can understand and deliver when we ask for they willnot provide a proper kt).4.i worked in first project statements, i provide some solutions, this statements development interacted with cupid developmentlead and told like put a pressure on the silent associates and show their work as our work.5. this stupid development lead vijayarajan ramakrishnan he is in that project from past 6 years but still that stupid fellow didnot know the usage of some classes and if any reqirement came in the sense first he got tense because he is technically nill,finally what he will decide is put a pressure on associates in L3 fixes also same.5. when the consultant felt pressure this stupid vijayarajan ramakrishnan and other can laugh themselves.6. that is the reason i left the company.7.they didnot gave any proper trainings.8.capgemini human resource and cluster they will always concentrate on billing , they willnot consider the consultants opinions.9.especially there are some sceniors like vijayarajan ramakrishnan and others, they didnot survive other than this office because they donot have a skill as well as guts to face the interviews in other companies that is the reason they stayed in that companies from many years and doing this dirty politics.

Cons

1.if you work hard means they will give you more tasks as well as no appreciations.2.if you gave the result based on functionel specification document(fsd) in the sense they will not satisfy and ask you on different ways of results like is your application supports ....bla...bla...or not like.3. they didnot know the proper way of result and they kep on ask you to different results(i faced a one situation like this, when i am development these stupid vijayarajanramakrishnan asked me a one output when i show that output he replied me like a very slow progress.ok i agreed, another time he gave the one more task when i asked for review the task he told like i didnot told this result i wnat another way of result.4. finally due to the help of some other consultants i completed my task again this povert waste and unsubjected fellow vijayarajan ramakrishnan chenge the output, at that time my frustation is in peaks because i developed the based on fsd only,i replied like why you want to confuse the client with critical code based on fsd this one is a simplest way like that said.6. consultants always help us and said like you have to speak .7. frankly speaking in the sense why i need to speak and convense the leads, by seeing the code itself its thier responsibelity to understand the code right, but here we need to explain and convense them(because they didnot have a any technical knowledge they just want the result they didnot consider how it came.5.in meeting these stupid lead always said like you are a technical consultant handle it anyway but actually that problem existed from its previous version onwards,if you tell this then they will realise and said that yes we canot do anything because it is existed from previous version onwards,leave the issue.7.if you are a silent means they will thought like take an advantage .

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.
