Yeah, we have a top list today for our readers today – The best 20 Information Technology Employers in India.
The survey was conducted by Dataquest and IDC jointly – The DQ-IDC Best Employers Survey.
This survey surprisingly does not feature the big 4 IT companies in India – Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Tech-Mahindra(Satyam).
Here is an interesting note from the people behind the survey:
While majority of the large Indian as well as MNC companies resorted to layoffs as a business necessity; they did very little to control the knee-jerk response. Things took an ugly turn, with negative headlines on the HR front dominating media coverage, sometimes at the risk of the companies image.
While many of these reports were true, many were not entirely so. And this we realized only on approaching each company for the DQ-IDC Best Employer Survey 2008.
The lack of transparency and hesitation in sharing information was discomfiting. Four large companies ended up not participating and all for the first time in the history of this research.
The reasons cited were corporate policies preventing the sharing of sensitive HR information. For all those who love reading between the lines, the little said the better.
Based on the above comment, we all can guess who the top 4 companies might be. Does it mean that these companies have hidden skeletons in their closet ?
Here is the complete list of Top 20 IT Employers in India.

HCL Infosystems takes the top spot, followed by iGate & Rolta. Some notable names Like Sify Technologies comes at 13th, Hexaware Technologies at 15th and Patni Computer Systems at 16th.
To be honest, I have not heard about half of the companies on this list.
Top Reasons Why people change their jobs:
More than half of them change their jobs because of money, while a third are looking for overseas opportunities or career development.
Surprisingly, only 18% look to change the job for job security.
