Regular readers of Techgoss are well aware that a large number of our articles are crowd sourced.  People send in tips, story ideas and even articles.  We reached out to our Tipsters to find out the general reaction to the salary hikes announced at Syntel. This is what they said:

“
The salary hike percentage is almost the same as last year. But there are some ripples of discontent due to the promotions list which was announced two days before the salary hike. Many names featuring in the list were unexpected and a shock, and also the number of people promoted seem to be fewer than last year.

The talk around the water cooler is that Ashok Yadav has moved / will move to Fund Accounting Vertical with effect from May 1, 2011. But no formal announcement has been made in this regard. Also, it is not clear who will be heading the External Reconciliation Team.

Syntel KPO salary hikes announced
By Sandhya

Over the last 15 months, Techgoss had published a series of exclusive reports giving details of all that was happening inside the BPO, KPO and IT divisions of one of India’s most successful IT-ITES companies Syntel.  One report showed how that in the recent past Syntel BPO was overly reliant on couple of key clients. Also, reported were the exits of the CEO and key HR people.
