Friends of Bharat. No wonder this company is stuck in failure, and can't win meaningful new business 27.

Variable pay only 30 %. Khanna is eating the money of all employees and providing to his chamchas. Big attrion is on card. People will leave this company. No one new is joining this company. DD, vp will die now of their own

savings made from variable pay and hike avoidance used to pay incentives to DM, DD and VP. more they save by firing seniors and manipulating performance the more they stand to gain in the slowing down market

layoff restarts in chennai 5 leads asked to leave

Expected variable pay of 55% only. Because of market bad outside for syntel not others. So be careful

Why so many vacancy now, have they got some treasures of projects? First you remove people and then you hire. It's all a racket going on.

If there are any options for buyout of Syntel then it will be good. Current forecasts look bad.

PDAC, HR, DM are all idiots in the same boat. All portray corrupt, illogical practices.

Get some good deals you lazy sales people. What about your Syntel perspective sales meet, 1-2-3 . You are just acting like back benchers in school, failing each and every quarter. If you have any shame left, go out and get good deals.
