The last option for any professional. Join if you do not have any other job offer. - Recensione dipendente - Associate Solution Designer presso Tech Mahindra

After the merger with Mahindra Satyam, it is only getting worse. The policies are not employee friendly at all, by any means. In fact, they are as bad as it can get. - 9 day Privilege leaves (PL) were reduced. There is no concept of sick leave. It has to be adjusted against PL. If you are sick and have not filled your time sheets on time or applied for leave then you will lose pay for those days. They will not be adjusted against your existing PL balances. - Mandatory working hours were increased by 1.5 hour every day to 9.5 hours. When I left TechM, there was a rumour of making Saturdays working as well. -Hikes will be delayed by 4 to 6 months, always. Last year the employees were given either a no hike or a hike in between 2% - 6 %.The senior leadership will make it a point to brag about their generosity on this ridiculous hike. -Micro management at every level.The employees are monitored at every level right from the time one enters office till the time he/she leaves. It starts with a thumb impression/swipe card at the entry point first, then system first log in & last log out time. Lesser of the two is considered. This needs to tally with the time sheet entry or you will be eligible for a loss of pay, in case of any discrepancy which doesn't have your manager's approval. - Internet access is restricted and individual system key strokes are monitored & logged & maintained to determine productivity . -Employee performance feedback will be given and there is a use less mechanism in place to raise your grievance which will be chaired by a panel of deaf people. - Projects needs to be sourced by personal contacts as the resource management group is hopeless. People once allocated in a project will have to quit the company to change the project. If you are on bench then chances of your survival in the company will be very less. - My offer letter had fixed pay but the policy was changed later and a variable was introduced at the same annual pay. My monthly take home decreased due to this. - Employee retention bonus paid out after 5 years of service was slashed from 40k to 5k. - Freshers are expected to sign a bond of 2 years of continuous service or 2 Lacs rupees payout in case of breach of agreement. -Promotions are given to satisfy the employee but no raise is given. After the merger they are bringing the TG4 grade employees to TG3 grade employees. - Need less to say the above mentioned points will affect the working styles,attitude of the long timers in Tech Mahindra. Work environment is not exactly professional.
