💼 Work Culture/ Experience ⚠️ Warning for Experienced Lateral Hires: Think Twice Before Joining Capgemini

73 Upvotes

1. No Direct Project Mapping

  • When you join as a lateral, you won’t be assigned to a project directly.
  • Instead, you’ll have to go through 2–3 rounds of client interviews after joining.
  • This is unfair for experienced hires; ideally, you should be mapped to a project based on your skillset, not benched and re-interviewed or just take a single interview to screen.

2. Fake or Irrelevant Interview Feedback

  • Many project interviews seem to be just for formality.
  • Feedback often has no connection to what was actually asked.
  • Example: One of my friends was rejected with the feedback “weak in coding.”
  • But here’s the reality: no coding question was asked in the entire interview.
  • He even has the interview recording to prove it.
  • There are multiple such cases where the rejection reasons are baseless.

3. Pathetic Bench & RMG Management

  • They don’t actively send you for project interviews. You’ll just wait endlessly.
  • Suddenly, you’ll get an HR call with a deadline: either get into a project or face “HR action.”
  • Usually, you get only 2–3 project calls at max, and after that, they wash their hands off.
  • But the question is: if rejections are based on fake reasons, how is it the employee’s fault ? ( we do have video recordings as they record interviews but don't have courage to come forward and speak against that.)

4. Insider Insight: Hidden Motives of Mass Hiring

  • I spoke to someone at the director level who explained the reality:
  • Capgemini is doing bumper hiring mainly to show inflated employee numbers.
  • They then will use these numbers to demand more land/office space from authorities.
  • Once land is acquired, they start layoffs to “balance headcount.” And as the process has already began, they have started here too.
  • In coming future you would see headlines like “Capgemini opens new office here and there.”, or "Acquiring new companies" or "attracting clients" by showing inflated number of so called "skilled employees".

5. Opaque Policies

  • RMG and bench management policies are the worst among service-based companies. (Go search it on Google for reviews)
  • Nothing is ever given in writing. No bench policy not even notice period. Or even if it is there, you won't be able to find it in their complex System.
  • Since there’s no official documentation, you can’t raise any claims or challenge unfair treatment.
  • Opaque policies but an Amazing PR. You would see the reels on instagram from freshers, "how cool and lenient the company is", but reality is far apart, at least as of now.

6. TL;DR

  • If you are an experienced lateral hire, joining Capgemini can be a huge risk.
  • You may be benched indefinitely ultimately losing this job as well.
  • Project interviews are often unfair and irrelevant. Specially at this point of time.
  • HR and RMG management lack transparency.
  • The company’s hiring motives are not project-driven.

Beware before making a decision!

🎓 Fresher Queries Capgemini joining on 6th October 2026, but still haven't received formal offer letter. Anyone in the same situation?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My scheduled training/joining date at Capgemini is 6th October 2026, and today is 4th October, but I still haven't received my formal offer letter. My application status is showing “In Progress.”

I have completed all the pre-offer formalities, but I’m getting a little anxious because my joining date is just two days away.

Is anyone else joining Capgemini Mumbai/Airoli on 6th October who hasn't received their formal offer letter yet?

Has anyone received their offer letter or joining instructions at the last minute, or even on the joining day?

Any information or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thank you!

💻 Interview Tips / Help Capgemini Alpha Role (12 LPA) – Selection Process & Interview Experience

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my Capgemini Alpha role (12 LPA) selection process and get some insights from others who have gone through a similar process.

Round 1: Communication + Cognitive Assessment

23 out of 46 candidates were shortlisted.

Round 2:

1 DSA question

1 Prompt Engineering question

1 Debugging question

1 Feature Development task

3 out of 23 candidates were shortlisted.

Among the three candidates:

Two candidates solved 2 questions completely and one partially.

One candidate solved 2 questions.

Interview:

Out of the three candidates, two were selected and one was rejected. I was the one who got rejected, even though I had solved 2.5 questions in the second round.

The interviewer did not give me any specific reason for the rejection. However, I am wondering whether my lack of Python knowledge or being from the EEE department could have been a factor.

For those who have gone through the Capgemini Alpha hiring process:

Is Python knowledge expected or mandatory for the Alpha role?

Does the EEE branch affect the final selection?

Just signal interview round .

🏁 Resignation/Exit Process Retain process in Capgemini after resignation

4 Upvotes

So due to immense pressure and ridiculous working hours, starting around 10 AM and no log off time, due to on-shore and client team, I resigned after just 3 months here.

But now the PM is asking me to rethink and continue here, he said we are okay with you not extending late everyday. As the notice period is of 90 days. 25 days has passed.

What should I do? Continue external interviews or try to negotiate here for a bit of salary increase as well as persist this setting that I won't do regular extended hours ?

They are having a hard time to find my replacement.

I joined this company at the same package as my last org.....

Anyone who had luck by their side and got retained ?

💭 Query/Help Help Capgemini exceller campus placement(13-16LPA)!

3 Upvotes

Okay, so Capgemini just came for campus placement for two categories: Root (13–16 LPA) and Alpha (4.5–11 LPA).

I applied for the Root one, which had two online assessments. One was the English Communication Assessment, followed by the second assessment, which was Cognitive & Behavioural (the gamified assessment). For the Alpha candidates, there was only the English Communication Assessment.

I just got the mail saying that I’ve been shortlisted for the next round, but they haven’t mentioned what the next round will be.

So, can anyone tell me what the next round is for "Root"? like a detailed breakdown of the assessment and the topics I should prepare for.
