Forget the future you want
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I don’t know, maybe Umwelt/Sozialbewusstsein? Provided equipment was good too.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Refuses the employment certificates
- Not giving a half of what they promise
- Avoids to pay fair salaries at any costs by for example postponing the Gehaltsrunde many months forth
- Career growth is very hard
- As well as professional
- They literally don’t know, what are they hiring for. We’ll just hire and then see, what we’ll find for you (or what we’ll find you for)
- Keep talking nonsense about competitive salaries, despite people fleeing for higher ones
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Stop promising. Seriously. Don’t promise trainings and conferences, don’t promise yearly salary growth, don’t promise work from abroad, don’t promise perspectives. You’re not giving it. And start practicing what you preach - honesty, trust, boldness, and all this stuff, you feed your workers with. Because for now it looks like a biggest hypocrisy, since you start lying on the interview. And try to decide, if you really need the worker before hiring him. It would help both of you.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Dependent on the project. My project in public sector was absolute mess - the requirements changed dozens of times, the test data were almost impossible to obtain, the client was totally unaware of what they want, specification was incomplete, making the developers to guess, what comes next. Communication with client was just terrible.
Almost all of the "benefits" (though there aren't any REAL benefits, it's like coffee/tee, mitarbeiterangebote and the things that they obliged to provide, like vacation and salary in time. Yes, salary in time is a benefit) have also been cut, since project didn’t allow to work from abroad (even Europe) and never wanted to pay for any of courses (even internal ones, that don’t cost anything but your time).
Kommunikation
Again, dependent on the project. We’ve had dailies, but retrospectives have been cancelled, since there were too many complaints. Right way to handle it, way to go!
UPD: After a year and a day I still have no certificate of employment. Even after quitting the company tries to screw the employee over.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Despite negative picture of the company, colleagues were fantastic - competent and nice people, never rejecting to help.
Work-Life-Balance
Again, it’s all project-dependent. I’ve been working for 2 years, and I can’t remember a day we haven’t been stressed, trying our best with burning arses.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I didn’t see my tutor at all - on my first day she was sick, on my fourth day she was on maternity leave. It’s totally irresponsible.
My personal leader has never given a damn about my development, although I spoke to her many times about inability to grow and develop in my project. The development plan, she made for me, was also detached from reality - you can write there whatever you want, but if you don’t have this in your project - you’re not getting experience in these technologies. As for me, it’s pretty obvious. All in all, management seemed to be just nominal.
Interessante Aufgaben
Again, project-dependent. But I couldn’t change my project, since there were no further jobs.
Gleichberechtigung
If you’re experienced, you can count on something, if not - you’re a one-time pawn to be used and thrown away.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
As told, colleagues from my team are the best team, one could wish.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The promise to be able to work from Europe wasn’t held.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
My salary only dropped after 2 years of work. I literally saw the smaller number in my bank account. The salaries seem to be incomparably low in comparison to other companies, moreover the yearly increases, that don’t even cover inflation, are postponed. One of the managers literally told me: “It’s okay, it happens every year”. Honestly, I have no words on it. Your problems are not problems for the management, they are good, nuff said.
Image
Of course, there are raising shares, and good news for everyone once a quarter, but I have only seen my small salary and boring project. Of course, I’ve been told many times about honesty, boldness, trust, etc. (notorious 7 values of Capgemini), but in fact I realized, that company is never honest, and I can’t trust it.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Again, project-dependent. I’ve been assigned to a project, that lays out of my competence, hence I had to start my career from scratch. Did anyone told me about it during interview? No.
My project didn’t have any technologies, that have value on the labor market, and new job search has become unbelievably hard after 2 years at Capgemini. I couldn’t even find a further job at Capgemini. All of my training requests were refused, since project management didn’t want to pay for them. Why does Capgemini keep promising it, is a mystery.
