Head, HR

This was another company that took a hit, down from #5 last year to #16.

Despite a bad year, attrition improved marginally from 14.8% to 12.1%, though

retention did better (ranked 8th). Average tenure at the company was 2.3 years–well

below the industry average of 3.25 years. The big changes, however, were on

overall satisfaction (#13) and peer satisfaction (#12). As a result, preferred

company and preferred employer rankings also got hit. Only 1% of all employees

voted for it as their dream company (3.7% last year), but more importantly, only

23.3% of its own employees voted for it (down from 65% last year–second only

to Wipro). Of those who didn’t vote for it, 33.3% said they preferred Infosys.

Employees were reasonably happy with interpersonal relationships, training and

development but not with job security.
