Current Employee – been working at iGate full-time for more than a year

ProsFriendly work culture and environment, manageable pressure, management brings up many employee engagement activities which is commendable, fair opportunity for growth, all in all it is a safe company to work for.

Consmeager salary, impossible ,meaningless expectations from employees like compelling to use to skywalk when there is a direct entry gate to respective buildings; taking skywalk means 15mins of additional walking which gets quite frustrating in case you have important client meetings ahead and you are already running late.

Advice to Senior ManagementFor heavens sake get the skywalk policy altered. Also, please work on better compensation packages

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Mumbai (India)

Former Employee – worked at iGate full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGood environment and opportunities for freshers,
good longterm onsite opportunities,
if you take initiatives, you will get lot of opportunities to grow.
best in class medical benefits for US onshore employees.

ConsNon-existent mid level management.
Poor retention from 2+ yrs at offshore,
No long term career planning for high performing employees.
Policy of phasing out people once employment bond completes to replace "high cost" employees with low cost freshers.
Poor HR policies
Pathetic salaries (worst in class)

Advice to Senior ManagementYou can not compete on cost alone over a longer term.
If you do not retain "best employees" someone else will make good use of them.
Don't compromise on quality for cost.
Micro-management means there is a limit to how much you can scale up.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
