It was good till Oracle policies were introduced after i-flex takeover by Oracle
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.
