Interview
basic mainframe question. please be prepare with cobol, jcl, db2... these are the main interview questions they have. They mainly works on Visionplus tool so learn basics of it too..... They will ask some CICS questions too but they use it less.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capgemini (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026
Interview
I went for F2F Drive at Bellandur Capgemini office. Only 1 round of technical interview with questions of experience range from 5-8 years of experience. Interviewer was smart and preferred on situational questions rather than google interview questions. After getting selected the HR offered me a package less than my current CTC and that too with 10% variable which further reduced it.
