I hate this place.

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Mumbai (India)

I have been working at iGate full-time for more than 3 years

ProsFor the outside world, it seems all good. But honestly, it is rotting inside. Only good thing about this place is that they pay on time. On the last working day of every month, you have some cash in the bank. No matter how little it is.

ConsNot a place if you want to break the mould.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Good for freshers... not good for long term

Technical Lead (Former Employee)
Mumbai (India)

I 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

Good For freshers

Software Engineer (Current Employee)
Mumbai (India)

I have been working at iGate full-time for less than a year

ProsVery good training, excellent seniors. Good work life balance but quality of work depends on the project you are assigned to.

ConsAllocation of project depends on luck. Need to be lucky to be trained and allocated to project in the same domain.

Advice to Senior ManagementPlease ensure that you make better use of employees. Keep perks and increments higher to retain and motivate staff in a better way.
