Top most Hire and Fire IT companies in India
Top most Firing IT companies in India
1) IBM — Right now this is the most firing company for IT professionals. In the last 6 months, this company has fired nearly 20% of their employees because of BG check and performance issues. This is the most insecure company from an IT professional’s point of view. They don’t have any strategic plans at HR policies regarding employee security. No appraisals (maximum 10%).
2) Accenture — This is second top most firing company. The firing rate is around 5%. This depends upon outsourced projects; they have a unique system where Accenture development centers around the world bid for a project coming into the company. Currently Philippines centre is taking the cake and the Indian centers are in a firing mode.
3) WIPRO — Firing people with very frequent back ground checks and firing them with out even experience letters and relieving letters (will mention as terminated from services)but will promise the employees that they will retain them. After the project is over they will fire away. Will threaten of criminal cases against such employees if they oppose the move and has also filed against some.
4) Intel — Recently joined the league. Running in heavy losses, hence firing 3000 employees in the Banglore center in a phased out manner.
5) CTS — Has a steady firing policy (checking the Educational background and previous employment and also employee performance in work). In a Recent HCL walk-in, around 50% attendees were from this company. Sadly the I-pods have not helped them.
6) CSC — Excellent package but fires folks in Background check and those on bench regularly. Recently fired 400+ employees from its subsidiary Covansys.
7) Satyam — Currently stopped firing. The Attrition rate is very high. No firing from 2005 until now when 1000 employees were fired in Hyderabad.
8. Patni —- They fired so many employees that currently they are facing understaffing and deficiency with number of employees. Very high attrition rate.
9) Keane India —- This USA based company is always involved in firing employees. Although they proudly say that they dont have hire and fire policy. Recently they fired java and as400 professionals after which most of the employees have started to pack their bags. Employees change this company within 1 year.
So take care before accepting offers from these companies.
Secure IT companies in India
1) Microsoft — Has projects till 2050.
2) EDS — Most secure company in India. Not laid off any of its employees even during 2001. Has lots of projects in Defense and financial areas
3) HP — Dream Company. In-house and outsourced projects
4) TCS — A govt. Company.
5) AOL, Google and Yahoo - Best companies to work with, great job satisfaction as well as great salary and work environment. Rarely fires an employee. As they are internet based companies’ they offer lots of opportunities to grow.
6) HCL — A good company to be in. Called as a retirement company.
7) HSBC— This is the most secure company. It has never fired any employee, even when they know that the employee is showing fake experience.
8. Aricent— a communication based software company, has never fired any employee and gives great perks & incentives, lot of projects in kitty. Minimal level of attrition.
9) KPIT Cumminns Infosystems Limited —- This is the most secure company not known to many. It has presently acquired CG Smith, Bangalore and has lots of projects in pipe line. Acquisitions plans will continue.

this is very interesting Ankur. I had heard of these things going on but had no idea that the figures were so high.
btw, when you write the number eight, avoid the bracket sign as an eight with a bracket makes that particular smilie.
Comment by Nita — October 31, 2007 @ 9:39 pm
@Nita…
thanks… i corrected the text.
the attrition rate in most companies are of the order of 30%.. and thats partly because they don’t respect their employees… luckily for me.. I have found my perfect company… which not only does the cutting edge work but has almost zero attrition. (unfortunately they hire only geek which are hard to find in India)
@VBR….
thats correct.

Comment by Voracious Blog Reader — November 1, 2007 @ 3:26 am
I strongly disagree with the list prepared. there are some valid names but some are mistaken as firing pocliy. Company like Satyam has never fired an employee on just like that / downsizing intent. Tell me if someone has given wrong information and withdrawing a hefty salary which he / she doesnt deserver , what wrong in firing that person. Its a purely case of cheating. I would suggest to run a criminal case against them. Its the basics what matters and if they can cheat here , they can cheat anyone also.
Comment by Piyush — November 1, 2007 @ 8:34 am
Isn’t TCS a Tata company.Are you calling it a govt company because it doesn’t fire employees?
Comment by pr3rna — November 1, 2007 @ 8:54 am
@piyush…
this list was prepared by my friend Savitha… and i would forward your concerns to her.
actually a lot of companies fall in hard times and have to fire people… Intel, one of the most reputed company in the semi conductor industry recently fired entire divisions… its just business… and restructuring.
@pr3na..
all the processes and departments of TCS run like any bureaucratic public sector company. all the tata sons companies are managed by TAS (tata’s equivalent of IAS)…. thats why many people jokingly call it a GoI enterprise..

it pays so meager salaries and then forces all its new recruits into classrooms for first 3-6 months that I do not think people actually think working in it as employment.
Comment by Ankur Aggarwal — November 2, 2007 @ 3:03 pm
But i understand that its a organization like TCS.Not sure about attrition rate but don’t fire employees in any cause.
Comment by Rupesh — November 2, 2007 @ 4:09 pm
This is TRUE and you had missed out a BIG LIST of names

Comment by RBK — November 5, 2007 @ 1:25 pm
Hi
Has anyone done RCA?
I guess it is due to foolish hiring spree these IT companies had, to attract clients, without seeing the roadmap of the business properly.
Another argument is that if we all want American salary we must also be ready to face American companies culture of “hire and fire”.
People become emotional while being laid off. One of my friends has mentioned to me that IT companies pay well and one must be prepared for such thing since IT folks get paid well.
Comment by Augustin R — November 5, 2007 @ 2:38 pm
@RBK.
Welcome to ENagar
can you please update the list for me?
@Augustin…
whats an RCA?
about attrition:
I guess the problem is because most indian company work on the client code and move from project to project every 6 months… so effectively they develop no attachment to the code they develop/test… and every new project is like working in totally new company… so they are tuned to switch rapidly.
also companies are so concerned about cutting corners that they try to squeeze every penny possible from their employees. there are no loyalty programs/stock options which encourage the employees to feel that their contribution to the company is recognized.
//People become emotional while being laid off.//
you have to understand that India is a traditional society where failure is not an option… even though we get good salaries, the values of individuals do not change.
and as I was explaining in the Bankruptcy post… everybody fails, but the winner is able to gather the pieces and move ahead.

Route Cause Analysis.
Comment by Augustin R — November 5, 2007 @ 6:18 pm
Something common with most of these companies is that, they are firing people who DID NOT meet the criteria when a BG Check was done. Its is only but natural for any company to do so
Comment by Annonymous — November 16, 2007 @ 12:07 pm
This report has the following discrepancies
1. No Facts
2. Biased towards large IT Firms
3. TCS - Calling TCS a Gvt company is another example of this report which has no facts. TCS probably has the most experienced people for the On site possibilties they offer. Moreover being a part of the TATA Group has very stringtent policies and procedures
4.BG Check is done to authenticate an employee’s work experience, education and other criteria
5. HSBC not firing employees…hahaaa…you must be joking
6.HCL - If HCL is a good company, Because it does not fire people…..you should think before you write a report like this
7.Microsoft - No comments ??? any reason
8.EDS not laid of employees ?? think again please
9. AOL best company ??? - Another laugh…..why dont you check the dissatisfaction levels of the employees there and check thier attrition rates….
10.
The author of this report has NO Hard evidence to support the same….

Comment by rit — November 29, 2007 @ 5:09 pm
Hi,
I got to say something, sometimes i wonder does what kind of qualification requires to be IT guy or do you really need specialize a subject like where you are like wizard(java..net,SAP,oracle),which one you prefer the guy with qualification or wizard, it’s not like a doctor or scientist, it’s a bloody computer..no rocket science..but why so much hype of BG check, i don’t understand what they are proving i have trvelled many countries nobody gives as such emphasis on education as our system, i believe ” ‘IT’ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EDUCATION”, i have send IIT guys dumb ass, and i have seen poor in studies who is bright, which one you vote, I wonder what this companies trying to prove, i am person who i strongly believe Education and IT has nothing to do with this, but being said have regorous recruiting process like more interview rounds or online exams (just like certification that makes more sens )it’s all about your logical brain, what you guys think.
thanks

@Shanker..
A Very wise thought and I fully agree with you. and thanks for dropping by
I ,like many other IT professionals, although did pass my engineering exams, never had any formal training in any Software language/process. but that has never hampered my ability to perform my tasks.
In my opinion (and i am no authority in this matter) What it needs to become a good IT engineer is
90% dependent on your ability to understand and define a problem.
10% on your grasp of the language like java .net, sap etc.
after all if you ignore the syntax and the frivolous schematics all languages right from the assembly code to c to java/.net are essentially the same.
so a background check is a sheer waste of time.

All companies will fire if you show fake educational qualification and fake experience.
This is not hire and fire policy.
Comment by Anonymous — December 3, 2007 @ 6:08 pm
Hi,
If Keane is 9th in the list, how do you justify its low attrition rate - less than 20%, which is very less for this industry? Don’t tell me firing is not included in attrition???
You perform, you are awarded, you do not perform, be ready to leave before being fired
Atleast think before you write
Comment by Vishal Challani — December 3, 2007 @ 9:04 pm
i think there are so many companies has that kind of hire and fire policy but they fire only when u r not up to the mark at urs work or u r showing them fake experience.
so i think this information is crap for me.
Comment by Faseeh — December 4, 2007 @ 12:48 pm
I am wondering about all these openions….
Be clear about one thing., There wont be any sensitive relations and hard feelings in this industry. Its all Give & Take policy. As long as you are required, you will be there with enough package. If there is no work/requirement, company will just look for an oppertunity to leave the burden. No company is running there to serve you for ever….
Better dont get any attachments with the companies. Work hard, earn as much as at the earliest. So, you will be safe if there is no job for you…..
Comment by Sreedhar — December 4, 2007 @ 7:44 pm
@sreedhar…
ya many people have this kind of attitude… but the downside is that I believe in the philosophy that if you make work your hobby, then you won’t have to work for even one single day… i am surprised how people can be so much detached to a place where they spend almost half their lifetime.

@Ra
I feel that the companies fire only certain range of ppl belonging to certain positions. I suggest it s always safe to hold a master degree and join a company reacging a good post at the earliest so that they won’t fire us…
I don’t exactly know how much does a PG benefit us but this is just my thought
Comment by Avinash — December 13, 2007 @ 12:30 pm
@Avinash…
I agree good education is one of the best investment that a man can do. and it never hurts to be over qualified for the job.
all the bright students either go for MBA or go abroad for MS leaving hardly any bright student in the M-Tech classes
and even if someone wants to pursue that, outside IISC and IITs there r almost no quality institute that provides a masters degree thats even worth the 2 years spend in pursuing it.
net result is only those who are unable to secure a good job after their bachelors degree purse masters.

Comment by Avinash — December 13, 2007 @ 1:14 pm
this list was not compiled by me… but i guess mindtree has a good reputation… and the VLSI engineers/contractors there seem to be happy with their pay masters…
Comment by Ankur Aggarwal — December 13, 2007 @ 1:17 pm
@Ankur,
It is just a matter of luck here. If you get into good project in VLSI (as we possess only a few good projects in VLSI) it’s well and good. Otherwise, ppl have to sit idle. It is difficult to get into projects where we have Designing(in VLSI) as only a few designing projects are there here. Me in Java, find good projects here. Anyway let’s hope for the best (not getting fired soon)
Comment by Avinash — December 13, 2007 @ 1:29 pm
a job satisfaction occurs when u r working for yourself, or atleast feel that u own the product u r working on…
indian software companies in reality r doing plain body shopping and temping… and the employee motivation, loyalty, attrition and satisfaction are also comparable to that found in temping companies worldwide.
Comment by Ankur Aggarwal — December 13, 2007 @ 2:01 pm
Haan sahi kaha… vaise MindTree mein firing nahi hoga according to me. It’s because MT is still a growing company and needs people. At least jab tak 9/11 event jaisa koi event nahi hoga tab tak safe rahenge yahake sab log… I feel so…
Comment by Avinash — December 13, 2007 @ 3:32 pm
actually i have a feeling that a mild recession in USA would be very beneficial for the Indian sw companies.
till recently people did not want to outshore the US jobs.. but when the companies themselves are struggling then its easier to convince the investors/board to cut cost in whatever way possible.

Hi,
There is a company called Infinite, these people are collect your certificates if you got select in their interview process and they said that they will back your certificates on the date of joining and they will send you the offer letter. If you got any other better opportunity or if you don’t like to join with them they won’t give you back your certificates.
Please take care in this regard with INFINITE. Because right now i am facing this problem with this company(as i had given my original certificates like 10th and Intermediate in Original).
Thanks&Regards,

you should never give the originals of your certificate to anybody… and if you really have to, ask for a signed acknowledgment receipt.
Please consult your lawyer asap. what they r doing is illegal and they should be booked for it

//WHY IT COMPANIES DONT HAVE THE UNION LEADERS LIKE MANIFACTURING…..IT HELPS A LOT….WHY INDIAN POLITICIANS ARE NOT CONCENTRATING ON IT//
a very nice point.
i guess for the union to succeed, you need to be in an organization for long enough to feel the need to make a difference. Attrition is close to 30% and most people who even stay in a job, change locations/teams every 6 month or so… so they do not feel any attachment to their workplace or a need to make things better.
just my thought.

Hi guys I change my job every 7-8 months. i have changed 4 companies during my 2.2 years of IT career. every time i got good salary and good role in good companies. Today i want your views on this.
My questions are..
1. Is this thing really bad for career? if yes then do u know somebody who did this and now he is jobless and no company is ready to give him offer.
2. People should stick to a company whether he is happy or not with his work.
Comment by karan — January 14, 2008 @ 9:41 pm
//2. People should stick to a company whether he is happy or not with his work.//
life is too short to waste. i won’t do that. What I would say is that try doing more research before you join a company so that you do not get bored within 6-7 months….
it might not hurt you now… but it might in future hurt your chances to grow and undertake increased responsibility/management roles
Comment by Ankur Aggarwal — January 14, 2008 @ 9:44 pm
Hey.. are there any rules n regulations for firing in a software company.
How abt the situations where an employe is given no feedback abt his performance n all of a sudden recieves his/her firing order.If firing is of no reason, can the employee appeal for it??
If yes, please,somebody,write some details on it.

Hi Ankur,
Although the I agree the rankings are not based on facts but still it strengthen the rumours we (read S/w Enggs) have been hearing for long.The discussion following the ranking is more informative.
Btw TCS too has bear the brunt , cutting the EVA’s of its employees(refer Times of India , 30 Jan 2008 / ET same date).
Comment by Ankit Sharma — January 30, 2008 @ 2:56 pm
@Ankit…
so finally it has started…
not very long ago I had pointed out the variable pay scam which is going to hit the IT employees hard in the next recession.
http://enagar.com/2006/11/13/basic-salary/
neways I think a mild recession in USA would only spur the Outsourcing industry and the salaries would soon come to normal (if not then attrition will rise)
http://enagar.com/2007/12/20/global-recession-and-indian-it-services-companies/
what I wonder is that when the profits and revenues r showing a healthy 2 digit growth, why is the company taking these drastic measures?

Comment by Deepti — February 4, 2008 @ 11:40 am
@Deepti…
in most of the cases what they do is call up the previous employers to check whether the candidate actually worked in that organization and left with good records.
So I would recommend you not to try providing any fake documents, or giving false information in writing. Because who know maybe 10-20 years down the line when you become famous/important somebody might dig up this dirt on you.

Comment by Deepti — February 4, 2008 @ 12:29 pm
Welcome to ENagar, Glad I could help.
in most cases, the employer would be troubling the employee and the new employer wants him/her badly. Hence the new employer knows about the absconding and is OK with it.
in other cases, the new firm is a small start up and its so hard for it to get a good talent.. that they don’t care to do any background checks

Comment by m — February 6, 2008 @ 12:22 am
Hi Guys .. with TCS continously being in the news for employee negative reasons…do you think its facing real tough times ahead? I wonder why only TCS is on the lime light and others like Infy,Wipro and HCL are not bearing the burnt…
Comment by Rohan — February 6, 2008 @ 3:14 am
I don’t understand why TCS recruits in bulk just for billing purposes and then lays off people like this. As it is TCS HRs are the worst in the industry who even treat a 5-10 yrs experience professionals as freshers. I recently had an offer from TCS and was in negotiation with them regarding the joining date , the HR decided not to return calls and I decided not to join them. Glad I did so.

@rohan…
when you recruits 10s of thousands of engineers every year, then its hard to maintain quality… poor quality does not matter when the growth is exponential. put once bottomline faces pressure these things start mattering.
you are lucky man

God Damn it!!!
I request you to atleast verify all things before publishing such blog.
Who told you that TCS is Govt. enterprise?
As you dnt even know such basic thing then you dnt even deserve to write blog on IT sector…!
I feel that firing people is not bad thing.
Companies fire only non-performing or fake BG people.
And these kind of people deserved to be kicked out of company.
Lay-off is generally restructuring of business so it’s definately a valid thing.

After variable pay cut, TCS fires 500 staff
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Business/India_Business/After_variable_pay_cut_TCS_fires_500_staff/articleshow/2759871.cms
Comment by az — February 9, 2008 @ 6:03 pm
hi all,
well the details give are partly true.
there are different policies laid down for a indian based MNC and foreign MNC`s .
lemme tell u a basic fact, who would ever wanna keep people if they dont have projects, my dear friends, companies are here for business and not here for ur secure lifez and carreers. no project then ur fired.
but unlike foreign mncs, atleast wipro, satyam, infy ,tcs and all indian based mncs care for their employees and their reputation. but it also doesnt mean that these companies keep their employees even if they dont work.
so i figured out few things from all ur comments and my experinces and suggestions taken from my frnds
1) do ur job rite,no one will fire u(pplz dont mention exceptional cases and foreign mncs,their policies are different and their work culture)
2) if they think ur not worth enough(despite frequest checks on u) they have no other option than to fire u.
cheers

Comment by bharat — February 11, 2008 @ 11:39 am
I have been working in this industry for quite some time , the author is more or less close to facts and the list is growing, many recruiters and hr people of these companies may not like to accept this for their own reasons.
I know several cases employees has been fired even after they meet all kinds of company criteria, some people who never seen this kind of phenomina/situation may not accept but its true, some of these companies still preparing new lists, all these drama happens when a particular quarterly financial results to come, we innocent are pawns in corparate business game.
Comment by rocky_prof — February 18, 2008 @ 3:40 pm
The average rate of salary hikes in the industry is of the tune of 20% p.a. This in spite of the fact that there is not much productivity gain on yoy basis and the exchange rates are going against the companies.
hence when dispassionately looked, the entire model looks to be somewhat unsustainable. and it would be a matter of time before new low cost centers in other countries would start emerging and would be giving indian companies a run for their money

Comment by Vinay — February 21, 2008 @ 4:01 pm
SATYAM FIRING PEOPLE IS 500% TRUE
Please find my real case:
Satyam follows a very stragic way to fire people when ever they want to fire the employees. The most risky company in INDIA. Every month atleast 100 to 500 people are thrown out with a single day notice. Imagine If you dont have a project or doller dipping states ..SATYAM have to close if the doller becomes 32 however they are try to expand the bussiness in other areas as well very fast to catch up the tasks. They will ask the bank staements of complete tenure starting the day u join the company lets take last five years or 7 years to pull some body out of company if not required for the project saying your BG is RED and please justify. also they check every thing the day u started the employment to some how to catch a person. Satyam fired 560 this month from hyderabad giving BG RED . real genuine experience people also were fired saying BG RED and people are literally suffereing. My sincere suggestion is better find a secured company rather depending purely clients and revenue rather. start serching jobs rather , or you will also be one like me who lost job even after having 5 years of real time. The most unsecure company. before the doller falls …please get out of the places like satyam…..
Comment by srinivas — February 24, 2008 @ 10:32 am

Comment by santhosh — March 3, 2008 @ 11:36 am
I do not agree with point no.1 for IBM.
They don’t have any strategic plans at HR policies regarding employee security. No appraisals (maximum 10%).
I work as a manager here since long time. Every regular employee has appraisal. So what is stated is totally fales. There is enough strategic plan. And offcourse bottom performers like any other company have to go. This practice is there in most of the company. IBM is one of the best and most diverse company to work with, please do not make comments which are not made on facts.
I do not agree that 20 % of the workforce are out. Yes we are very strict on anyone supplying wrong information about education and work exp. Why should we keep such people who are dishonest. And yes low performers have to go, that is valid in any industry.
Comment by Guest — March 4, 2008 @ 1:03 pm
hi , Agre to some extent. To be frank IT is a bussiness. IBM has policies thats good but end of the day and end of periods what matters is billing. If you are lucky enough and stayed in IBM for more than 2 to 3 years , then it is a real good company. Always managers wont be affected and HRs wont be affected because they coordinate each other. but one way IBM is good . my friends are there . its not all are guinene but 60 % fall into some small discrepency but if reqmt is there then managers dont advise to terminate how ever they use the Back ground verfication to pull any guy out of court depending on bussiness
Comment by srinivas — March 8, 2008 @ 3:29 pm
SATYAM is too bad for that matter. They feel proud of themselves because no body to praise. Employees fired i have seen this month just for 1 month diff also they want to see all the bank statements since year 2002 etc , I dont understand but you know satyam is number one compnay is catching people. In the induction etc only they take bonds etc so that they can come back and catch any one. also SATYAM is going under losses ..200 to 300 are on bench.in each center. also This company has some many people who are unfit to work in HR managment . just imagine they recruit us , feel shamed to know. also HR does bossism in SATYAM. especially they feel as if they are giving the projects from their pocket. However my guess is down the line in future this company will have a major Set back . i pray god that doller should fall and First comapn to be affected very badly is satyam.
Comment by srinivas — March 8, 2008 @ 3:37 pm
For gunine people like me . This company has done too bad. Played with careers and wish all the bad luck to the future of this company. I wish any assocites from satyam please push of before the new polocies etc come in to picture one fine DAY. if you talk more ..HR will issue a termination under integrity issue. any ways GUY ..try for any other Company like IBM , HP etc CSC TCS ..but not SATYAM ….

SATYAM ” Dont make your like SATYAM sarvanasinam ”
They give offers just like that but initial 3 months to 1 years or till u complete 2 yeras they is no gaureentee……any moment they will chuck out people like any this …just call up the EXIT help desk of SATYAM …every month 500 to 600 people moving out of the company is quite common …and in that 300 will under the back grounfd verficationa and 200 will putting down because of bech and no projects ….and satyam will start monitering you if u are on bench for 3 months and they try to put in some project whether u like it or not ..if not a PINK slip ..u put down the papers or we will terminate u …..Very funny company with out ETHICS …….

Comment by geo — March 13, 2008 @ 8:49 pm
Hi Melvin,
To the question which u asked about Goldman sachs, i would like to answer.
First, let me tell you one thing, in this forum, u would have found opinion of different companies, but first thing u must understand is, there wont be any single company that does not fire people, and it is according to the market conditions, individuals who take up the managerial role, market/demand financial conditions, that decides these things.
I have heard that all comapanies have fired, and the best companies u can find also have fired, and there is no company that will protect u giving salary lifelong. If market conditions come down, they will just fire people or in other terms let go people.
Coming back to Goldman sachs, Goldman sachs in India has around 500 people in IT, (software) and around 1500 people totally working in India, who work in different roles like content writers, CA professionals, Call center etc.
Goldman sachs is one of the best companies to work for, it is very very tough to get in Goldman sachs, and after you get in, it is more challenging to work there, and u find the worlds best people workforce around you. To shortlist in Goldman itself is tough. It is not well know in India, but it is very well known in US, and the it is one of the company that pays huge bonuses that even you cant imagine.
Even they have openings, there wont compromise on quality to hire people.
And to ur question again of firing in Goldman sachs, If you dont perform well, Goldman sachs also fires people who do not perform well.
and remember, i am very experienced person, and know that there is no company that does not fire or let go, Remember - sometime back it was told TCS is like a government company, how is it now, It has also fired people.

Comment by Nik — March 19, 2008 @ 4:08 pm
I advise not to join SATYAM . Company which runs on the Dollar purely. and Talent every year jump to other companies.
Notice period is 3 Months that itself if u would like to buy it will come up to 1.5 lakhs or atleast 1.0 lakh.
Second Thing is BOND …i know very well ..Keep in mind your are indirectly pledging ur property for bussiness ..satyam says thats what bussiness demands.
If you give notery …u are dead. Dont think these companies are fools ..they have a very strong database …and they can go up to any extent for the recovery. also trainingcosts are not 2 lakhs some times it will be 1.5 but most of the times it comes to 2.5 between 3 lakhs they say. in that they include the training cost.
Do u know one thing suppose if u r on bench company says ur un productive inspite of trainings ..but the fact is their projects are indefinite. Stym has indirectly confirmed that at any point of time if the dollar dipps and go to 32 or 34 ..we would not be position to maintain this organization with 70000 people …I suggest ..at this point join any where other than SATYAM but worst case senario ..u join here if u are for all the terms ….
Thamudu….Satyam already scwd me .Major losss in my career with 6 yeras of real time Expand dont do that…some of the Unit HR people have lot of attitude and I dont know whom they ve born to to be frank……

Even though u have 2 to 5 or 10 years of Exp ..definetly they will select you …same way next moment they fire you with n number of answers and reasons, If they do this way they think we can atleast stop iteration because u are going to loose your earlier job as well and this job as well. finally u will end up realizing why i have done this …
But the fact is if they do this way …they are loosing the reputationa and etc …in the market…but what ever may be the case ..even though projects are coming from US our peple learnt how to do it ..we have nt improved like them in thinking and way of working…end of day..an indian is an indian..hope u got it ….

according to law, the company is legally required to write the reason for termination in the experience certificates. However if you have had a good record, the company can give you a good character certificate. however plz do consult your lawyer, because it can effect your employability.

@nik…
HR of companies often employ tricks to undermine the candidates experience and expertise… i have also worked in a company which later on closed down. in that case all u need to do is to become aggressive and fight back.
for example challenge ur interviewer by saying that you learned in 15 months what other people take 3 years to learn.
this will prompt the interviewer to ask u really tough questions and give you ample chance to demonstrate your competency. and if you prove him your competency then he will hire you at your terms…
PS: it is a very risky game to play, and you need to be real exceptional to get it right. but have confidence in yourself

Company is purely driven by HR and Finance teams no human values for the Employee. ‘Top company in Employee Attrition rate’. Who ever join this company will realize that they spoiled their precious time without proper employment history at the end of the day.
No employee gets the proper exit when they resign from this company and HR Team is most unskilled and manners less people, least professional ethics from Top to down management.

Never join Corbus, a company located in NSEZ greater noida. Company has hire and fire policy and a very unstable company to work with. Total employee strength in IT is 125 approx after 15 that have been fired in May/08 and with the present rate of firing the employee strength is supposed to come down to 100 or lesser shortly.
Company was established in 1994 and today in 2008 number of clients they have is as high as “1″. So you can imagine how stable the company is.

Its better to raise an finger on the companies for firing but why don’t these professionals don’t look into there own collar before raising fingers against the employers. If any one is doing JOB of 15K and if he get the offer of 25K
- He will not think for a moment about his responsibility toward the current organization.
- He will not think that he has to finish his pending duties before leaving.
- He will not think of giving one month prior notice to the organization.
- He will not think that he has started his career from here only.
He will only think that he is getting JUMP of 10K. Of course when you are jumping there are chances that you get your leg broken & firing is that leg broken.
I will appreciate if organizations will do more background check and personality check before hiring anyone.

The reason behind this lay off is nothing but company inability to get new projects. In recent past company did not get any new project but lost existing big projects to it’s competitors (Infosys/Wipro). And new management is highly responsible for this situation as they do not have prior experience of running big company.
Since they do not have enough projects to accommodate people whom they hired recently (They hired around 500 fresher in last 10 months) even after major chunk of their existing employee left the company (after taken over by caritor). Around 50% of the Keane employees have already left Keane India in last 8-9 months.
Company management is just trying to set the inventory correct (by all hook and crook – No Project – No Employee and Cost cutting by all measures) even after loosing projects and people and now this action showed nothing but their inability to run business.
Still they are hiring people from campus interview (I heard that they hired 300 from Amity - Noida - is a private college) as they know that by doing campus they are creating market news and their value, as they know very wells that they need not to pay the new employees now, but after few months once they complete their college and even they have liability to not to give offer letter to new hires.
All fresher…PLEASE BEWARE OF KEANE INDIA PRACTIVE….
Thanks
