RANK 17: Hughes Software Systems: Job Security Issues

Hughes SOFTWARE has been in India for nearly a decade, but is a new entry

into the HR rankings. Attrition levels were just below industry average (ranked

7th with 8.2%) while on training, it ranked 6th. However, its overall attribute

score was comparatively low (rank 18th), as was its performance on perks. It

ranked 16th on overall and peer satisfaction. Of all employees surveyed, 2.5%

voted for Hughes Software as their dream company, which included 43.9% of its

own employees. About 9.8% of employees, however, preferred Infosys and 4.9% each

preferred Cadence, Wipro and TCS. Interestingly, about 2% of TCS employees voted

for HSS. Employees rated the company as satisfactory on technology but gave it

among the lowest scores on job security, the performance appraisal system and

training and development.
