Pros

Impossible to name a single.

Cons

1. Its not an flat organization. 2. Policy makers dont know what the policy is and what does policy mean. 3. No one in this organization will hear your issues, HR is completely un-approachable and non-communicative. 4. Instead leaders(VPs) of the company also make false claims in frnt of employees and then they do nothing and forget evrythng which they claimed. 5. It was made clear that employee can escalate hi mail if he does not get a reply. On escalation he will face more issues here. No one will solve those issues. 6. Policies are not same for evry1. Some people are forcefully fired. Some are relieved within a week and some are forced to serve the notice period when they are not able to serve those. All depend on HR moods. 7. There is no one to judge nd remark the performance as no one is capable to do that in this organization. people who come with gr8 ambitions to work, are made to sit on bench and hence no 1 will satiate their hunger to do work and in the annual review they are fired because of performance issues when they didn't got a single chance to perform. 8. No one likes this company after merger. It is now a pro-claimed call center. even PM and TL play games and gossip evry time and crib the organization.

Pros

none at this point in time....

Cons

- they hire people in anticipation of new projects but they dont get any as TCS is beating them in terms of scale, practices and rates so when project dont land up, they either put people on bench and eventually fire them else they will treat people like football and move them from one proj to another before they themselves resign - they have no projects in pipeline so future looks very bleak - Management is extremly focussed on revenue and least focussed on people and thats why attrition rate is more then 25% currently - Genpact is putting further pressure to recude cost and increase top line so when projects dont come and revenue targets are not met, people are fires, even senior leadersip is not spared, 5 Engagement managers were fired last Nov - In toto, dont join here at any cost, should you not trust my feedback, pls contact people inside and find it yourself..
