Capgemini, the multinational information technology services company, hasn't onboard IT professionals despite providing them with a 'Letter of Intent' as early as December 2021.
A job claimant told Business Today, I was selected via campus placement back in August 2021 and Capgemini sent me LOI in December 2021. They put me in a pre-boarding training with no pay. The candidate said it's been almost a year since I got the LOI.
A letter of intent or LOI refers to a document outlining the understanding between two or more parties that they intend to formalise in a legally binding agreement. In this case, the Letter of Intent was between Capgemini and IT professionals highlighting the company's plans to hire them.
Another IT professional facing similar issue told Business Today that while waiting for Capgemini to join them, they rejected offers from Infosys and Wipro. Now, no one from Capgemini responds to their queries, they are just sent an auto generated email.
I have already rejected Infosys and Wipro's offer. I'm waiting for Capgemini's onboarding for a long time. The candidate said that they have also sent mails to them, but they just give some auto generated reply.
The job claimant received an offer in March 2022. I had completed my interview on 25 February 2022 and received my LOI on 24 March 2022. The delay in onboarding at Capgemini has resulted in mental as well as financial stress for these techies. A young techie told Business Today, They gave us an offer and then made us train without any money for months but now they are not responding. I have wasted seven months of my life without money and I can't explain it to my parents. This comes days after Business Today reported that Wipro has delayed the onboarding of several job claimants. The company rescinded offers made to many candidates.
There are some techies waiting for Capgemini's onboarding, but neither company has given any dates for joining.
One young professional said I have offers from both Wipro and Capgemini. Both companies have delayed my onboarding. My family has very limited means and I have to pay my education loan. Business Today reached out to Capgemini with detailed questions on the issue.
