Pros

Good Work Life Balance
Respectful People
Really nice environment to work
Respect for individual
Much value for the new recruits
In summary, really good

Cons

In the long run, you will feel salary is not that much encouraging.
Work from home option may make people lazy

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work. Its always nice to work for an organization when the employers are supported by the Management

Pros

I worked here for 4 years as technical resource consultant development team. I joined i-flex as fresher in 2008. Here are pros:-
1. Wide opportunity to learn technically and work on various technologies and also functional aspect in Banking and financial domain.
2. Lot of foreign travels for onsite experience (in consulting development).
3. Never on bench for more than 2 weeks in between projects
4. Recommended for freshers to build foundation for career in IT.
5. No hidden salary deductions in package and there is less variable pay component.
6. Good work recognition

Cons

1. Ridiculous salary hikes for those who stay for more than 2-3 years. I am 3.5 years experienced and my salary is just Rs.10k more than a fresher's salary and same as 2 years experienced person. Salary hikes are major problem here. There is absolutely no transparency or logic in salary hikes given. A person with same experience is recruited for salary double than one who is staying. When this is put forth to the OFSS management and HR, they blame it on oracle corp (USA) and try to escape themselves. They give lame excuses that they have less power to stand by its employees. It shows that OFSS management and HR must be incompetent or they are lying.

2. "we only need 1 rated employees and we do not need 2 and 3 rated employees" attitude of top management. There is a big gap between 1 rated and less rated employees.
3. No flexibility in office timings or work from home option,
4. Long and stretched working hours including weekends and holidays,
5. Tremendous pressure and torture in onsite, sleepless nights are common at onsite.
6. Nothing is being done to motivate employees. One can easily loose interest in work.
7. No good recreational activities like team outings etc.
8. After oracle policies are introduced, both employees and clients are disappointed with it.

Advice to Senior Management

1. Since this is product based company. Try to retain employees.
2. Have a look at the employees salary and maintain a reasonable structure according to the seniority wise.
3. Since the office is now shifted far from city in Bangalore, please consider work from home option.
4. Arrange frequent recreational activities and outings like other companies.
