Pros
Company have own sets of policies and assumption that you have to follow and your past industry learning will not be considered...When you join Genpact your assumption about IT/Software will change. Quote: "Every 5th person is Asst. Manager, 10th person is Manager, 15th person is Sr. Manager, 25th person is AVP"-- GANG of Average people (like BA/BCOM/BSC/Undergraduates/Correspondence/Distance MBA’s/Droppers) who never thought to achieve such position in life are the citizen of Roman........ One important thing "You will find lot of people RE-JOIN Genpact the reason is very simple once you have a taste of "LAZINESS/ BIG DESIGNATIONS/ PAK-PAK-PAK" here, you can not survive in any other Software company outside..and hence you don’t have option other than to join back Genpact.....Believe me its true- check out with your known friends here...
