CAPGEMINI Philippines (Formerly Strategic Back-Office Solutions

[joslater]

I just applied via Jobstreet then checked the number of applicants-- more than 750 as of today!LOL

@kakazhi
Technical questions po ba yung essay?

[marc_rendl]

^ hindi yan! ako 2 paragraphs lang essay ko, feeling ko nga hindi umabot nang 50 words yun eh... may mga bura pa sa gitna (mga 3 or 4 words, hiwala-hiwalay)... hintay hintay lang... pero normally dapat tatawag agad yun e...

Ako nga isang concise, direct na isang paragraph lang ang ginawa ko. Mga nasa 60 words lang. May draft pa ako noong una. Basta maayos ang grammar at consistent okay na. Acceptable naman ang bura kasi super time constraint din sya eh pero siguro yung spelling at grammar mahirap nang magkamali.

Kaya dapat laging updated sa jobstreet. I think I was able to submit an application just the day after the opening

Hey! Kilala mo ako! Magkasabay tayo noong monday for sure. Ako ang huling nainterview. Hehe. Hello there! Sabihin mo pag may JO ka na.

yup marc_rendl ** ikaw yung sumunod sakin sa interview.. *** ba me JO kana?

[marc_rendl]

yup marc_rendl ** nung last bago ka...ala pa tawag..*** ba?me JO kana?

Wala pang kahit sino sa PEx na nagka-JO na. Sobrang dami pala nag-apply dito sa Capgemini, talo pa ang ibang matagal nang MNCs. 770 applications na as of posting time compared sa usual 200-300. Mukhang dadaan sila sa butas ng karayom.

[dilate_17]

anu kaya gagamitin na language sa training nila?di ko natanung nung interview

[waw_kalabaw]

hi guys! nag exam ako nung monday, interviews and discussions ko nung tuesday, at bukas na ang JO ko... hehe... may mga makakasabay ba ako dito bukas?

[jedianiki]

probably natural/adabas. well, i think hindi lang pagiging bibo basis nila to pass you or kung galing ka sa top universities. what important is you have the skills + right attitude + interest. I'm an IT, and it's ridiculous for a fresh grad with no experience at all to ask for a salary > 30k.

some companies like HP will give you 25k for entry level position (not sure though) accenture will give you 16k-18k i think.

and isa pa, kung willing ka talaga mag shift to IT or gusto mo talagang maging IT, kelangan ng konting sacrifice. success will not come to you overnight. you have to earn it and work for it.

Tama. Some people think job hunting isn't part of work. And dive into offices without an ounce of idea what can and should be done. Never ever go into an interview without research.

Most of my co-apps sa 2nd day came did not come from top universities (except ata ako), which is not really surprising given their other credentials.

And with some exceptional cases, 30k is too steep for fresh grads (although I know some people who did have that as starting pay... but they're exceptional people too to begin with)

For the amounts you've given sa mga companies na yan. I must say you missed a little. Although medyo nasa range naman at possible.

DISCLAIMER: Hindi ka pa yata hired kapag napunta ka sa program na iyan. Someone pm'ed me about their interview and parang allowance pala.

Kaya keri lang with other applications. Nakakapagod lang ang mga interviews pero sanay na.

[marc_rendl]

Ikaw ang unang applicant na may JO. FLP ka rin ba? Congrats. Mukhang sa batch namin wala pang nagka-JO ah. One week wait daw samin eh. Anyway, congratulations.

Nalito tuloy ako kung bootcamp ito or employment na. Paverify nalang bukas.

6 months training and allowance ang ibibigay, may bond pero hindi pa sinabi kung ilang years... kanina lang ako nainterview

Meaning kasama sa contract ang 6 months na training and allowance before maging employee?

ang galing mu naman conratz po .....deh ibg sabihin *** naunana na int. wala na???

[ivatanako]

sabi sakin ng bayaw ng gf ko. Training allowance lang daw ibibigay? totoo ba?

[cc_arci]

^true. not sure how much..

[Goodang]

^awts! ayos lang sakin allowance lang basta promising ang future... promising nga ba future sa mainframe (cobol/adabas/natural etc.)? any ideas sa mga experts dyan...

[great1]

allowance? parang ojt ang dating

6 months training? ang tagal, baka bagong technology iyan

dati nag train ako ng 1 month lang, two year ang bond, pano pa kaya kung 6 months

Capgemini is one of the leading IT company based in France. So most probably, medyo kalevel sya ng accenture. Kaibahan lang, they just started to invest here in the Philippines this year by acquiring Strategic Back Office Solutions.

I think it's 2 years bond, same with Accenture if you don't have IT experience. Pero alam ko wala nang bond sa Accenture pag experienced hire ka kasi no need to train you.

As for cobol/natural adabas. all i know is that cobol will be and will always be around. Kahit marami nang bagong programming language. Natural Adabas, Natural is the programming language, Adabas is the database. In demand daw ito sa UK, US, etc. Halos pareho sila ni cobol, simplified lang.
