Current Employee – been working at Syntel full-time for more than a year

Pros – Syntel offers terrific growth opportunities for lateral employees.
There is a lot of stress on trainings, certifications and cross training.
There is no dearths of "experts" eager to share knowledge.

Cons – Poor management structure. Poor processes.
Very little stress on employee benefits. Customer centric approach to the extent of ignoring employee sentiments.
Poor information systems.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to care for the employee. A happy employee is a productive employee.
What else could explain a employee strength of 20,000 in 30 years whreas Infosys in the same space has 1.5k+ employees. This has direct benefits on linear revenue.
Another thing would be stress upon industry-academia partnership. Syntel currently has a poor name in academic circles. This will help attract the best talents.
