Pros

Flexibility in moving across domains/projects, Some of the colleagues are highly talented and experienced

Cons

Tech Mahindra - Mahindra Satyam is a company without direction.Although top management tries to implement innovative ideas, the layer from Senior Managers to VPs are resistant to change and nullifies any improvement. TechM recruits from institutes like IIMs and give them substandard work. One of the last IT companies where you are expected to address managers as Sir/Madam! "Boss is always right" mentality is widely prevalent, and that is the only way to succeed in this organization. Hyderabad DC is especially notorious for this, with strong parochialism and language dictatorship. Merger of Tech Mahindra with Mahindra Satyam has started a cold war between senior managers of erstwhile entities - to the point where some of the teams refuse to work with each other. In short, this company is a classic example why Tractor makers shouldn't do IT,unless they understand the difference in culture of the respective industries.

Pros

Provides exposure to newer technologies to enhance your profile. But that's about it!

Cons

Project Management and Human Resources are total jokes at this firm. Both are absolutely non-committed to supporting the Associates at any level. Especially in situations where a fellow Team Associate/Lead egregiously violates the Terms and Conditions of rhe Signed Employment Offer Letter where they attempt to stake ownership over a Client Deliverable but legally they're not allowed to but Project Management will let it be blown under the rug without repercussions for Associates who are seen as more valuable than others but if you're impacted here as the victim then good luck trying to fight and get it reversed because: 1. You'll more than likely be released to the bench soon after; 2. No matter if you put your head down and engage your positive energies towards moving on in a positive direction, eventually you'll be victimized here too as that same Project Management will be sure to hurt your chances for future project allocations eventually resulting in your HR Notice being served upon you and an eventual dismissal. 3. Even more unethical on their part is the lack of reality when you do come forward to file your grievance either with your Regional HR or Business HR, they will use the "Terms and Conditions" of the Employment Offer Letter against you even though you've been done wrong. They have no remorse here and in hindsight, regardless of when you file this grievance, they don't care! Their stance is their stance! POINT, BLANK AND PERIOD!
