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.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
