Pros

honestly, only pros is, its a job and will pay your bills. However, only join if you dont have other options.

Cons

1. Middle management's relations with the clients are strained beyond repair. Clients do not like them and just want to get rid of them. Many hardworking employees get into this cross-fire and suffer 2. Offshore teams are filled with fresher resources. Only leads and managers are >5 years of experience. Rest of the team who actually works at the grass-root level is <2 years old. This will result in daily friction between onsite and offshore team. Many onsite folks end up doing work for the whole team and do not get enough sleep at night 3. The employee who works is consistently piled up with huge workloads. If other employees do not fill their time-sheets on time, its this employee problem. He/She has to follow up like anything to get everyone's time-sheets 4. And even after this, hard working employees are not rewarded with a good hike. After you get the hike and you are not happy, you have to meet you manager who has no power to increase your salary. So they ask you to meet their boss, who asks you to meet their boss. This goes on till Director and VPs and you realize even they do not have any power to increase your salary. I mean what the hell! What are you doing guys? Should we have to go to the CEO for a 5% hike now? 5. In Canada, apart from RBC, they do no have any other major client and they have screwed up their relationship with RBC big time. They will loose RBC very soon and most employees have realized that are fleeing Capgemini 6. As I said, they do not have enough projects here. But what's insane is - a person who is a Canadian citizen/permanent resident, gets an email tell them to prepare to travel back to India as their assignment is getting over. Seriously?

Pros

Laidback environment depending which project / manager you’re under. Lots of flexibility. Great entry level role but once you’re a senior it’s hard to move up, request increases etc

Cons

Very slow growth, way underpaid for the industry and work you’re doing, not much autonomy for the type of work you can do, I was a senior on paper but didn’t feel like it since I was always thrown on random projects and don’t have a niche skill set or expertise in a certain area
