Former Employee – worked at Syntel full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – syntel being a small firm privdes lot of opportunities to take up responsibilities, you get thrown into the deep end of the pool often and made to swim to survive

Cons – Syntel still is a company run with an old mindset. meritocracy is not valued as much a seniority. Also, syntel seems to be a low cost competitor and hence refrains from investing in talent which is a must for a company that has been around for as long as Infosys has.

Advice to Senior Management – value meritocracy, develop talent, retain employees and encourage them to go beyond their current limits
