Pros

- career growth , freedom to test ones ideas and also ability to learn - Good HR products to leverage but inable leadership to leverage - good facilities recently and infrastructure catching up and some times good projects to work on from learning - in the banking side - u can learn a lot on the cards domain - biz leader always talks of domain , their Banking university is good - If you can talk english and bit average smart - you will surely get to speak to clients and also present to client which at lead level you cannot think in CTS or TCS...

Cons

- Pay , Non caring Managment to employees , Non transparent pay structure - especially variable pay - No meritocracy at sr level - they embrace average leadership and demand performance and meritocracy down the line - too much of underdog mentality and you will get advice from managers to take care of you only sometime very funny when you come in from a large corporation - all powerfull delivery team can do any thing and there is no system for feedback - mgr whether dumb or average is god ... mostly very average manager -- some of delivery heads are smart but too busy to meet people at lower down the chain ..

Pros

I joined Syntel as a fresher with a salary not superb, but to be fine with. The initial training we had in Java. In two months, we had a good extensive training. Then I was put in a project to work in a completely different technology and within a week, started feeling the pressure. I believe that as a fresher the responsibilities that I got really helped me to grasp the technology and the business much faster than my friends in different big Indian companies. Within months I became an important resource. That makes you feel good and confident. But down the line, you will start realizing, you are ended up being just a good resource for the project, what if when you look for other opportunities. They use fresher in all possible ways and get the result. So I will conclude the merits like the following: 1.Good company if you are starting your career with. 2.Good as your managers do understand your personal life also. 3.Good as they give you enough chances to show your mettle 4.Good to have trainings and seminars arranges for employees often. 5.Good that really appreciates if you have done something good.

Cons

1. HR policies are good. But HR executives are not. 2. Communication gap between base level employees and higher management. 3. Many team leads are really not up tp the mark. Have seen many team members better than them. 4. Compensation is not really up to the mark -- yearly hike is also minimal. 5. Very less bothered about a employee's personal or career growth. But knows to get the best out of them to use in a project. 6. Project goes on.. Commitments are met but not in a very sophisticated manner. Project Level Documentation is not great.

Pros

My direct boss was great to work for but he left due to senior management's people philosophies, I am still in touch with him he basically said I can not let you execute the sales strategy, you will fail we have to think differently

Cons

Can not trust senior management, cut throat culture, not organized, their channel partner model was take as many leads but do not give back Difficult to find information, new hire orientation is minimal, consultants are not treated as people ,more as a commodity. the sales people actually compete against each other. Takes adavantage of the Indian consultants and delays the process of getting their green cards
