1. Management is not up to the average mark as per current industry standards. Mostly Managers , Delivery Director and Delivery Managers are basically management illiterate.
2. Bad work life balance. I have experienced bad work life balance in most of verticals I had worked, few of them are FedEx, Manufacturing, Connect One, Syntel Inc. etc.
3. Very bad Regional discrimination.
4. Very slow and pathetic communications through Verticals, HR and Administrative department. Communications are like 19th century companies communicated with marine ships and takes to receive communication in months.
5. 7 days working life including Saturday and Sunday for most of projects in almost all verticals. They are cheating the government rules for 40 hours working per week and not paying for extra hours.
6. As a essential part of every employee is salary hike but Syntel badly fails in that section. Almost no salary hikes regardless of your performance comes under top E20 categories and promotions(less than 6% for top category with band grade promotion)
7. If you are at onsite your life becomes hell due to extra time work and offshore coordination. Badly failure of Delivery and Engagement Manger planning failure which impact the entire team. These managers doesn't deserves for their post but due to Bhai-Bandi culture and regional factor they are mostly promoted to hold that position but they are not enough technical and managerial capability for that.
8. Managers are mostly like rubber stamp. They fears to even talk with client managements and asks their team leads and team members to communicate with client. I have seen these situation mostly in manufacturing verticals and Connect One vertical (with Whirlpool Client, DTNA Client etc.). Reason is like they are not enough capable to hold their position but Syntel has given them the position due to xyz factors.
9. Recommended that not join the company even if you have no any better offer in hand for other company.
Brief details will help the people who wants to join the company or recently joined the company.
