Mahindra-British Telecom featured below #10 in the various employee satisfaction parameters (barring the dream company parameter wherein it ranked #9), taking it to #17 on the overall employee parameter. However, it came better off on the HR front, aggregating a #8 position. Career development/growth opportunity, along with salary, came across as the key areas of discontent among the employees: in both these cases, 52.7% of the employees expressed these two factors as the reasons for leaving. Another 38.7% of the employees admitted overseas opportunity as their reason. On the positive side, 45.2% of the employees expressed satisfaction over the company's culture and work climate. But this was not good enough when compared to other companies in the Top 20 list as it ranked a low #17 on the culture parameter. Some other areas of concern: constructive feedback from manager/superior, work recognition, and a fair appraisal system.
