What is the hiring process of persistent systems? I am done with one technical round and got an email with subject line as 'feedback' but in mail it is written that they will get in touch with me. What does that mean? Will there be more technical round or managerial round?

Bain & Company Can someone recommend a good starting point on how to go around solving case interviews? What frameworks should I follow?

Well they’re basically the same since Cap is just EYs old consulting business they spun off when Enron happened. As evidenced by them being the only 2 firms to not reimburse lunch until EYs recent allowance for (rofl) $15 lunch when traveling. Cap folks please correct me if I’m wrong about that... I think unless you’re at Parthenon the differences are going to be negligible.

Idk about focused. I’m in our strategy practice (cap Invent) and I have a lot of responsibilities as a new hire - project work, internal work, campus recruitment, office initiatives
Capgemini Ernst & Young was almost 20 years ago. Don't think that's relevant anymore.
From my pov it depends which unit hires you.
Cap culture is great, you have a lot of freedom. Not everyone can deal with it though.
EY pay is better when we talk strategy consulting. Implementation units are kinda the same, depends highly on your negotiation skills.

I’m guessing any large organization has microcultures that would influence your day to day experience much more than the generalizable overall corporate culture. But I will say EY has the general feel of early 2000s systems and policies. No idea about Capgemini, other than it has a really stupid name.
Cap zhemeenee is not less stupid.
EY. Capgemini is a respectable sweat shop at best
Pro
EY, I would say most are, as they are at PwC as well. Not all however and it really depends on the type of project. A strategy program for example likely has no offshore, but the build of a technology based on said strategy would leverage offshore.
We don’t hear much from Cap round here...would be interested to know if they are alive and well
Pro
Cap chases smaller deals than Accenture. We compete with them quite a bit and sometimes partner (them as the technical team and us as the business partner)
Culture EY , if you are getting same offer in CapGemini and EY - I would pick Cap, because your take home will be considerably high compared to EY. EY loads a lot on you with is medical insurance and a trashy 401k. Personally I love EY as a company.
And I say this as an experienced person in both company. I worked for cap and got an offer with 20% hike with EY. The number felt great and I took the job - ended up taking home the same salary because of all the additional cost that EY loads on to its employees. That too for a shorty medical insurance - cap has one of the best insurance in US

How about WLB?
OP depends on your project - Cap is a bit more aggressive in my experience.
Why is it even a comparison?
Still, Grass is always greener on the other side.
I have a friend who left that firm (cap) because, last year, they got no bonus, no increment for some silly reason though their business performed very well. Almost 5k employees were affected.
Have some peer reviews thrown in who works in both and compare.
Makes sense?
EY is awesome.
Depends highly on the unit you'd be joining and also your location (country-wise).
Pro
Cap’s SAP practice is growing quickly
