They're doing some serious interviewing recently. Looks like they're building a team. There was some news few months back that they're setting up a 2,000 seat call center in M'sia. Not sure when thats gonna be.

Satyam just open a branch in Cyberjaya. Opposite EDS/DELL. I can see they will have a massive recruitment. By the name Satyam, we can predict how's the environment will be like .. heheheheh

there are 3 processes of the interview:
1) IQ test, basically just some simple maths 2) group discussion, they'll give you a question , then u discuss among the candidates(e.g: Is Msia truly Asia?) 3)Interview by some technical guy 4)Interview again by boss I'm currently working in this company, being honest with you , if you have another option , go for it. It isn't as good as you thought or as what they've claimed. They do not have much projects pending, in fact they are a lot of us still sitting on the bench doing nothing, wasting time..... The turn over rate in this company is very very very high , one month at least few ppl cabut , im leaving soon. The HR doesnt care much about your welfare and benefits, they just want you to work work work and work. If you are looking for a job as Software Engineer/Developer(either Java or .NET), this company is not a good choice , in fact they are expanding their datawarehousing team, for development team ....you join and you sit, cause no project as what i've mentioned just now. One thing good about this company is high pay , they will offer you at a range above average, but no bonus, no OT and yearly increment is very very little. You calculate yourself la .... Another thing is they provide freshgrads with 3 months of training, this include data structures, j2ee, sql, presentation skills and bla bla bla. My suggestion to anyone that is planning to join this company, you can take the course for first 3 months, then leave ...cause the course is quite beneficial. That's all i have to say , i'm strongly advise you all to join other company. However, it's your decision............ |

Satyam is not that bad. For freshies, it's a good starting place. You will have good mentor that willing to teach and share their knowledge. The culture for learning in this company is really good.
If you are looking for a job that can travel, it's even better. I have colleagues that are going to Kuwait this month. Well, for some people, they maybe not that lucky. They under some project managers that are bad tempered or maybe bad project management skill. Then they suffer. LightEnchanter, please correct if i am wrong. |

It depands on your experiences and your negotiation skills. In terms of benefits, you will need to ask them to explain to you because over here, you will get better benefits if you stay longer. So far, they cover medical expenses (immediate), dental check-up expenses (eligible after 3 months) and even optical expenses (eligible after one year). If you are working in cyberjaya, you will be given rm300 for transportation allowance.However, the annual leave at Satyam is only 10 days and is on pro-rated basis. |

i went to the walk-in interview at my Uni.. give resume, sit for 2 tests, then they let u know if u are through for the next interview.
even if ur not interested in working for a company, just go for the interview. at least ull get the experience and u wont feel nervous when u are interviewed for the job u really want. thats what i did  easier to go for recruitments held at ur uni / college. |

I attended a walk in at Renaissance Hotel there 2round Interview, then after 1 week i got a call frm India, the gal says there is a another round interview and fix the date. then I got a call frm satyam guy who interviewed me(very tough tech Qs).then they said there will be a next round client Interview(i supposed to work in Client's place) within 2 weeks..but so far now its 3rd week, i didnt get any calls. regards shah This post has been edited by zeeshah24: Jun 29 2007, 09:38 AM |

Hi,
I've juz received an offer letter from Satyam. Join date will be 27th August 2007. But, i can't reach ________ to nego the date. I'm in a dilemma after read all of the comments here. Bad impressions bout the Satyam... but when thinking my low pay here... Either to accept the offer or to reject it. Any comment from the seniors about my future boss? and other stuff?

i was offered there but i rejected the chance since I know I could not fit into the environment with low increment,no bonus, low AL etc... but they send you for training which is good but need to be bonded around 1 year ++, if you resign during that time,pay back some amount,up to 25k.The same goes for my friend who rejected the offer also.
But if you can fit into the environment, just join them . |

I think this company is good exposure for fresh graduates....I mean you are only bonded with them for 1 year ++ then after that cabut lah ! Its will be good exposure and also will look good in your resume....Just my two cents....

QUOTE(oioi82ng @ May 16 2007, 02:24 PM) It depands on your experiences and your negotiation skills. In terms of benefits, you will need to ask them to explain to you because over here, you will get better benefits if you stay longer. So far, they cover medical expenses (immediate), dental check-up expenses (eligible after 3 months) and even optical expenses (eligible after one year). If you are working in cyberjaya, you will be given rm300 for transportation allowance. how about maternity? after 9 months ? However, the annual leave at Satyam is only 10 days and is on pro-rated basis.  [if you are working in cyberjaya] ? have they put you somewhere else? |

i attend the test interview. it is easier than i thought. 15 questions for verbal test and 15 questions for analytical test. in analytical test, i failed to answer 3 questions since they have time consuming calculation. not bad for verbal test. now waiting for result. btw, i attend this during my uni career fair.

guys, satyam is not that bad like wat u guys think... the company is good, bringing fresh graduates like us working with them.. can u imagine how many grads still dun hav jobs?... satyam is helping us guys.. plz dun giv bad impression bout them..
n dun juz simply condemn ppl without knowing them.. sanjay das, for example, is very good in managing his ces team.. bala, the java trainer(i think) is long oledi stayed in malaysia n treat the new eltp's nicely.. i dunno wat u guys feels bout satyam, but do ask many ppl's opinion rather than hearing single person's opinion...

well
i think 300 cyberjaya allowance is standard or rather minimum MNC company in cyberjaya kenexa gives 300 monster gives more than 300 (400 if not mistaken) i think shell gave 1k (unconfirmed) on EPF side its better coz they contribute more on your EPF on the TAX side, its not so good as its not an expense so its taxable my initial calculation show's that 300 extra income = rm 36 extra epf (12% emp contribution) and depending on you current salary you might have to pay more than extra rm 36 per month but less hassle... because no need to collect receipts |

QUOTE(Ultima @ May 31 2008, 09:20 AM) guys, satyam is not that bad like wat u guys think... the company is good, bringing fresh graduates like us working with them.. can u imagine how many grads still dun hav jobs?... satyam is helping us guys.. plz dun giv bad impression bout them.. if you ask me to compare a freshie in satyam with his future in another company.. i'd say his future in other companies would be bettern dun juz simply condemn ppl without knowing them.. sanjay das, for example, is very good in managing his ces team.. bala, the java trainer(i think) is long oledi stayed in malaysia n treat the new eltp's nicely.. i dunno wat u guys feels bout satyam, but do ask many ppl's opinion rather than hearing single person's opinion... Added on May 31, 2008, 9:27 am its not true tht as a freshie, u will not learn more stuff... satyam is giving u guys new technologies to learn, like lombardi teamworks, global 360, pega, documentum, sharepoint... n plus, u guys will learn it for free, with a trainer to train u, not juz self learning... n plz guys, do keep in mind tht satyam is in the process of expanding in malaysia, later u will see how well satyam will giv benefits to us yeah satyam has high pay, good benefits, world class insurance, best employer award blah blah blah blah blah but what happens to freshies is that they are being hired to bench. imagine, in 1 year, you only worked in 2 projects only. and how involved are you? worst thing is you are being bonded for 18 months. wanna resign also cannot. taking my own experience, i have worked in 3 projects in my first job over 6 months, 20+ projects in my 2nd job in over 1.5 years. what can satyam offer? i always hear they have projects.. ya right.. see for yourself how many people are benching in the office, how many are reading comics, how many are enjoying coffee in the break out area, how many are posting in forums, how many are chatting in msn, how many are playing the fool and not working, how many are coming late and leaving early, how many ponteng without even have to apply for leave |

hehe.
being on bench sucks. i was on bench for 1 month. i think getting paid for doing nothing is good. but. not doing anything dulls the blade (your biggest asset, the human mind) somehow i think satyam is somewhat like government do almost nothing get paid get very good medical package again pros and cons i think on bench people can go for training. i dunno la some project, people work from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. some people bored to death from 9.a.m to 6 p.m something is wrong somewhere. any java programmer with 3 years exp from satyam want to join hp? my project manager wants me to get more resources. |

even though i enjoy it, somewhat like a honeymoon, it's bad for my future. imagine in my next job interview.. what did you do in your last job? "Benching and wait for projects" LMAO trust me, i will begin another job hunt after I am done with my current project which btw is a shitty one |

bro
just a word of caution last day should be on the 15th if like me last day was march 28 march 30, no pay i got my salary for march on april 30th so they hold your salary if you resign on 15th, i think the hold it for two weeks just my opinion. but dunno if unlucky they hold it for one and a half month. i complained to government they say it would take 2 months to resolve hell. i think its standard for MNC to hold your salary. but its the standard because we let it be the standard. erm. |

A fresher in Satyam will earn defitenly more knowledge than any other company in any day. Satyam spends lots of money on their training, they don't only train on Java/dotnet/oracle but they train you some cutting edge technology like PEGA,Cognos,SAS,Lombardi,Global360,orticon blah blah blah. i am sure 95% of our malaysian IT guys doesn't even heard about these technlogies, and FYI each of these will cost you more than 20K if you learn outside.

Coming back to your own exp. you said you have done 20plus projects in 18 month, means each projects duration is less than one month, i would rather prefer quality projects than quantity, and would prefer a fortune 100 client project in my resume than any ABC local projects. I would again defer with you regarding chatting MSN and surfing net in satyam because they have blocked all those stuff already.Regarding coming late and leaving early, well satyam believe in strictly 9 to 6, they don't expect people to stay office late, and from this week they have impose a new law that no one to stay in office after 7.30 PM, if its urgent due to project issue then need to take the permission from Project manager and corporate services. |

where did you get your statistics? i personally know a guy who was trained in dot net but ended up doing java project. tell me, honestly. really really honest. have you ever worked in a company where you cannot open you yahoo mail or gmail? FYI in the satyam universe (i forgot what's it called) the intranet application you can look up internal vacancies this project requires someone with 3 years dot net exp in Japan but KVS say i cannot apply.. no.. he said "don't apply" i think these positions are reserved for the indians in india. correct me if i'm wrong. or you know any reasons why people are still on bench when there is always internal vacancies? on the training part i agree they give good training SAP training cost an arm and a leg, but satyam gives free.. |

its good you enjoy working there.
some people enjoy it some don't i find it limiting when i need to ask something from my co-workers, but cannot use gtalk you do know that they keep logs of the communicator, right? but its harder if you are on gmail through https. its like being in malaysia where you cannot say anything, because the government might do something. i simply choose not to live in fear. |

(Satyam doesn't charge 25K if you break the bond for freshers) This post has been edited by vkeong: May 31 2008, 08:22 PMWell, for me if I am trained in these cutting edge technologies but I have no chance of utilizing them in my projects, it's pretty useless. Again I am speaking of working/project experiences, not technical skills. I am not saying that what Satyam is offering to freshies is not good. From a freshy's point of view I might think it's good for me because I am being trained on something new. But from a person who has already have working experience, I think having project experience is far more important. That's why I don't encourage freshies to join. I've been spoken to a lot of people and they tell me the same thing: "No project to do, just benching" Got project also minimal involvement.. all is just coding coding coding. How would that helping freshies? Technology is always getting newer and better, not necessarily only Satyam's training can provide it. If one is really interested in learning they can pick up a book and learn by themselves. They have hired close to 500 in last 8 month and they have engaged 50% of them into projects, definitely all can't be in projects specially freshers unless they do justice to their potential. I have nothing to say for this.. For most of us who have joined recently.. we are feeling very weird about one thing. Why hire so many when there's no projects to work on? When you said that only 50% have been engaged in projects, that's not a good sign. Isn't that wasting resources? If I own a company, why would I employ 500 people when I only have projects requiring 250 people? Coming back to your own exp. you said you have done 20plus projects in 18 month, means each projects duration is less than one month, i would rather prefer quality projects than quantity, and would prefer a fortune 100 client project in my resume than any ABC local projects. About my project's duration, you are wrong. Most of them are 3-4 months long, some even extending to a year. And I have the responsibility of procuring project requirements, coding, documentation, planning, support and assigning tasks to the team. As you can see, I gained a lot. In Satyam, so far I can only see one thing to learn, codings. And for my project's clients I believe they are far more better than fortune 100 companies. Motorola, Intel, Seagate, Dell, and HP. They were my clients. I would again defer with you regarding chatting MSN and surfing net in satyam because they have blocked all those stuff already.Regarding coming late and leaving early, well satyam believe in strictly 9 to 6, they don't expect people to stay office late, and from this week they have impose a new law that no one to stay in office after 7.30 PM, if its urgent due to project issue then need to take the permission from Project manager and corporate services. Well.. chatting using MSN is not blocked if it's among Satyam colleagues. --> The MSN here refers to the office communicator |

i don't know
maybe its just not for me i'm glad satyam is treating you well. i really am. most of the satyam people i've met, have negative feelings. what matters is you enjoy your work environment. no hard feelings. btw. i did not want to resign. i wanted to change project but the say cannot i've begged and pleaded. i asked if they could at least pay for the parking (costing me rm 20+ per day) but kvs say cannot cannot claim toll cannot claim petrol so i resigned not financialy viable for me. getting the same as previous company after minus all the expenses. |

i believe some people are treated better some are not its not fair and if you've read "who moved my cheese" instead of cursing the situation adapt to change. so i changed company. happier. just be ready when change happens. Added on May 31, 2008, 8:30 pmat the end of the day, if the company does not make you happy then leave. stop whining. and if you are happy, you are lucky. all the best. i mean no disrespect.

But there's a lot of management issues that I think they need to work on. vkeong, Like every MNC, i think satyam is also under going the changes in malaysia to adopt to malaysia culture and need to understand the malaysian sentimates, i am absolutely agree with you and i am sure they will sort those petty management issues ASAP, we should give them some time.Last week my manager was telling that like other countries in (Australia, Greece, china, Japan) satyam prefer local leaders to lead the role than indian expatriots, so far they are still looking for dynamic malayisia local project managers, program managers, leads who can take satyam malaysia to next generation. About projects.. Well no company will get projects if they don't have bench strength. according to them few projects are in pipe line and by next few months they will be executed from malaysia. End to End Service offering Offshosre concept is new to malaysia. They have worked in this way and have growth from 24000 employee to 53000 employee in just 2 years with a year to year revenue growth of 45% (visit satyam website). One more thing: you are talking about intel, motorola,dell, accenture.. don't forget how they layoff people when they don't have projects or when US faces recession. so far in satyam's history they never layoff people in their last 20 years history. I am not here to advocate about satyam, but when our govt openly praising satyam in WCIT and brought those big WCIT delegates only to Satyam Malaysia to show case their success story then why we are making noise. |

Just gotten a call from HR person of Satyam, asking me about education details etc. I couldnt make it to the mass-interview due to other commitments and she said that it's a one-time thing.
Had to politely tell her that I wont be able to make it. Good luck to everyone else who's going |

Hey guys, dont waste your opportunity if you got a chance for interview! Satyam is a very good company that can promise a bright future for your career.
I am working in Satyam for almost 9 months now, I 've learnt a lot in this company. There are so many eye-opener when I joined this company. Previously, I've never heard of Pega, Global 360, Documentum, Red Dot and Lombardi, these are Industrial standard Enterprise tools. I've been trained on the tool and did some internal projects. I've gain knowledge which unable to learn in college. Satyam is like a university for enterprise education on software and skills, but you are get paid for learn the tools. If you have any questions or issues, so many people are willing to help. This is totally different from what happen in my college where people are "kedekut ilmu"(selfish), Satyam associates will teach you patiently. Last month I 've face a challenge in an implementation, I've made a call from Malaysia to India and chat with her for 30 minutes, then I found my solution. These are the experience I gained in Satyam, knowledge sharing architecture. For your information, there are more than 45000 employees globally. Imagine how huge is the knowledge hub and resource pool.(Employees- the main resource in IT company) If you love work and travel, Satyam would be your ideal company. Currently I am based in India for few months on a project. I enjoy to work and travel and I really enjoy my life here. You can meet different type of people, culture and environment. Some of my friends are based in Singapore, Dublin, US and Australia. There are all from Satyam Malaysia. Yeah, some ppl may be on the bench. However, self-initiative is all it takes to gain what you want. When I was on then bench, I took a course on Six Sigma. I've earned my self a Satyam Six Sigma Green belt. Of cause, there are some process in the middle, nothing can be achieved without efforts.  |

Different people with different attitude would have different perception. Having limited internet connectivities is not an issue, those pages that are blocked usually are not related with work. MSN messenger, YahooChat, GTalk is not really work-related, and Satyam have the office communicator which allows us to communicate with Satyam network. Wikipedia and Lowyat.net is not blocked FYI.Satyam working time is very flexible, no time check or watsoever. This is why self-displinary is very important. In my opinion, every company is the same, attitude and self-displinary is very important. It is our foundation that build us, the company will help us to achieve the goal. Satyam Learning World provide everything for us, classes conducted by experience lecturers, webinars (web seminar), articles, blogs and everything a knowledge management system can provide. For people who worry about doing nothing on the bench, be patient. Try to gain and learn as much as possible. Build a strong foundation on yourself. If you able to learn everything in Satyam Learning World, then you only start to worry. By that time, I guess the bench is already broken. Do not worry about having no project, worry about the project having you ! - Crazyboyrs - |

this is my experience in satyam. all below are facts.
a. I was benched for just a month. Others I've seen being benched for six months or even more. b. I've resigned for a while. (got 2 payslips from new company) but still being called up by satyam team to help them with the problems they encounter. c. During my stay, I cannot claim petrol. Cannot claim toll. Cannot claim parking parking. According to the manager, I can claim if I went to a seminar, but if on site, no claim. (I know some companies let you claim, some companies view it as the site is your new base, so no claims). d. I saw with my own eye, a co-worker being wrongly billed for 10k. He tried to talk to his manager, his manager just said, "if you have to pay, then you have to pay". Thank god somebody else helped him go to HR and finance department. e. During my bench period, I wanted to join PEGA training (which is a different project), but I was not allowed. My manager said, that project had too many people. f. During my bench period, I wanted to apply for an internal vacancy in Japan and UK. But my reporting manger said, "don't", even though I fit the requirements. g. When I was assigned to a project, I was using Struts. Struts is a 2002 technology. h. When I was assigned to a project, they were using cvs where everybody was sharing the same username and password. i. When I was assigned to a project, they commited to the cvs whenever they please, resulting in nobody knew where the current code was. j. After I resigned, my project manager resigned. k. My pay from previous salary was +50% l. Satyam's medical benefit. I've never ever been offer any medical benefit or even seen any other company offer that kind of benefit. DENTAL USD 500 per person per year. MATERNITY USD 10k per whole working duration. MEDICAL cover GP+Specialist. I've looked around. For these same benefits, you'd have to pay USD 4k per person per year. m. I resigned on 28th March. My salary was on hold for one month. I got it on 30th April. m. Satyam has basic pay and variable pay (sort of like performance bonus). I have a friend who didn't get an increment on basic pay, but got an increment on variable pay. n. On my last week there. I heard that there was this Malay girl who was just back from a Singapore project. She was in the process of going to a New Zealand project. o. The SAP people are also being sent to middle east. p. Someone from the same batch as me was being sent to India, .NET programmer. q. The day I joined satyam. There were 2 other J2EE programmers. The next, I saw my reporting manager and asked to be placed in Singapore if there is a vacancy. After being benched for a while, I found out one of them is doing PEGA training.

in my exprience.
what program did they write? it depends on the project. from web application to swing applications. its a broad range. but they will give you training. satyam won't ask you to do something you cannot do. if they interview you, they will find out what you are capable of. they will assign you to projects, based on your skill set. maintenance, yes, sometimes you maintain an old system. sometimes you develop a new system. program to control wat? sometimes you create a simple web app for data entry. sometimes its a big webapp with webservices, ajax. sometimes its just a vb6 exe application. program for web page like java script or php? sometimes you have to write web based application. sometimes unix application. depends on your skill. if you have zero exp in unix, nobody expects you to write unix apps. IT consultant: did they give advice to other company? just a fancy name for a senior programmer. still code. its a software house. like all other software house. core business is codes. but they provide a lot of training. |

It is unacceptable and ridiculous that your boss (x-boss) doesnt approve your claim! Gila meh...RM20+petrol+toll everyday = big sum..you shouldnt bear this cost. What is his excuse/explanation? Added on June 4, 2008, 11:05 am QUOTE(jeerie @ May 29 2008, 12:37 PM) hah? they can ar?? really ar? this is not fair lor.... when they said it is for security reasons and things like that, yet, they r ppl who still have full access to any websites they want...it is contradicting and not making sense. I never see this issue in other consultancy firms. My frens in Accenture, IBM, ISS, EY, KPMG all laugh at me when I told them I am not allowed to check my gmail and msn messenger and most important thing of all, I got no laptop! I am so embarrased.

Hi Doyok,
Sorry I hadn't replied earlier. I hadn't worked there yet so I cannot tell what the job there comprises of. Hi all, I called up the day after the petrol price hike and asked if there's any changes in salary or not (since I cannot claim petrol). I was told there isn't. :( It does make me reconsider Satyam as the petrol hike is really high...40%!!! Is it really true that if you go on client's site, you cannot claim? I asked that during the interview and they said you can claim as you're going to client's site. Am I being pulled a fast one here? |

They wont include that in the appointment letter for sure. So far, all my pals that are onsite get the claims. As long as you have the manager's approval, you definitely can claim. Don't worry.
If really cannot, let me know. I'll organise a MOGOK!! LOL...joking only. |

Pity you a lot compare mine. Actually I was planning to replace my MYVI to 2nd hand Honda Civic, but in view of this petrol turmoil, . Now I will get even less than RM300. I just have to forget my plan. Smaller cc will save more petrol.Maybe I'll use this money to modify my MYVI...change muffler ekzos..add fuel saving stuff...change damn good tyres...tune the engine...etc. |

i see..
reading your post again, i figured out that "just got 50sen" is "recently got 50sen" and not "got the amount of 50sen" "just" refers to time, not amount. haha ha my mistake. |

QUOTE(ttwangsa @ Jun 3 2008, 08:45 AM) n. On my last week there. I heard that there was this Malay girl who was just back from a Singapore project. She was in the process of going to a New Zealand project. Hi ttwangsa.These are just facts. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Thank you. Been so long since the last time i met u. It was before u went to Bank Negara project (and never return..), hehe..we were sharing the same cubicle! remember me?Sorry that this reply is a bit basi. I just came across ur post, and saw that line (quoted). I m not sure who are u talking about, but if u r talking abt "the girl i know..", who came back from Singapore in february 08 and, yes..she used to be "in the process" of going to NZ , supposed to go back to Singapore & so on ..but then, she ended up benching for 4 months, and have just been assigned to a project in Cyberjaya office recently (last week to be exact).. * hey, i totally agree with u when u were saying something abt "who moved my cheese" thingy in one of ur posts! haha..  |

if they called you for an interview that means they are interested to hire you, right? Or else, they wouldn't have called.
So, if you are interested to join them then go for the interview, you have nothing to lose. But if you don't want to join them then just don't go. Safe your time for something else. |

What does an entry level network engineer do? I got called for the interview too.
QUOTE Job Description : * You would be undergoing IMS (Infrastructure Management Solutions) training programs for 2 months with assessments and evaluation at the end of each phase. * You would be placed on projects after the trainings with Infrastructure Management Solutions/Network & Support Units or any other opportunity available at any locations globally.

well, i got the same interview for entry level network engineer...
and im already working now with nice paycheque but i will still attend the interview talking about satyam, i was the 2nd malaysian batch go tto Infosys (Satyam no 1 rival company @ India) at MySORE India for the fast track program. chatted with some local employee there at Infosys, the working culture at Infosys and Satyam is very much alike. Since a lot of ppl jump from Satyam to Infosys and vice versa if they got some internal problem such as probs witth HR, other employees and stuff coz Satyam and Infosys are the biggest IT company in India. they do provide good training (really) both Satyam and Infosys. they working culture is exactly the same. so.. i would say they really press u when they want it to but it can be super relaxed when there's nuthing to do.. well to those who are going ...and from damansara area..maybe we can carpool and go there for the entry level NE position.

Do you guys know how much (salary) they are offering for this job?
Added on August 23, 2008, 12:12 amThe job is being advertised again on jobstreet. Previously, it said 20 vacancies. Now, it has been reduced to 15. Guess they've already started hiring. One of the requirements for the job is "Willingness to relocate to India". Are you guys (who got called for the interview) really willing to relocate to India?

Satyam shares tumbled by 37%. Sauce
Shares Fall Email | Print | A A A By Harichandan Arakali Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Satyam Computer Services Ltd. Chairman Ramalinga Raju resigned after announcing the company had falsified accounts and assets, sending shares of the Indian software-services provider tumbling in Mumbai. Satyam had 50.4 billion rupees ($1.04 billion) of “inflated†cash on its balance sheet at the end of Sept. 30, the Hyderabad-based company said in a release today. Raju, 53, unsuccessfully tried to sell two companies last month to Satyam in the “last attempt to fill the fictitious assets with real ones,†Hyderabad-based Satyam said in a statement sent to the Bombay Stock Exchange, citing the chairman. Satyam shares tumbled a record 37 percent as of 11:34 a.m. in Mumbai trading. Raju, the founder and chairman, on Dec. 16 announced a $1.6 billion takeover of the two companies owned by his family, only to drop the deal hours later after stockholders protested. Separately, the World Bank Dec. 23 declared India’s fourth-biggest software-services provider ineligible for contracts for eight years, alleging ‘improper†benefits were given to the bank’s employees. Raju scrapped the planned acquisition of Maytas Properties Ltd. and Maytas Infra Ltd., less than 12 hours after announcing it. Investors dumped the stock, causing a 31 percent slide, amid questions over Satyam’s decision to spend cash to buy unrelated businesses during the economic slump.

OMG.... this company's shares dropped 82% over fraud.
I'm seeing layoffs coming source: http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_323053.html QUOTE MUMBAI - THE head of one of India's biggest outsourcing firms, Satyam Computer, resigned on Wednesday amid a scandal over a billion dollar fraud that sent company stocks into freefall. This post has been edited by tiny: Jan 8 2009, 12:47 AMCompany founder and chairman B. Ramalinga Raju admitted the Hyderabad-based software services firm had falsified accounts and assets and inflated its profits over several years. The company overstated its cash and bank balances of 50.4 billion rupees (S$1.5 billion) in its September-end balance sheet, 'purely on account of inflated profit over a period of several years,' Mr Raju said in a statement. Satyam shares plummeted 82.75 per cent, or 148.2 rupees, to 30.9 rupees on the Mumbai Stock Exchange late afternoon on Wednesday, as investors dumped the company. The broader benchmark 30-share Sensex plunged more than seven per cent to 9,603.74 points. Satyam had announced the US$1.6-billion buyout of the Maytas infrastructure firms earlier this month, but abruptly reversed its decision after investors rejected the plan. Mr Raju admitted in the statement that the Maytas acquisition plan was 'the last attempt to fill fictitious assets with real ones.' Analysts and the stock market regulator have reacted with shock at the fraud, calling for stringent action. 'This is an event of horrifying magnitude and it's first of its kind,' C B Bhave, chairman of market regulator Sebi, told the Press Trust of India on Wednesday. 'We are in touch with ministry of corporate affairs... we are also in discussion with them as to what steps need to be taken,' he said. 'This is alarming and disturbing... like a punch which catches you unawares. The fraud will have an impact over the short-term,' Bharat Iyer, India strategist with J P Morgan, told AFP. The investment bank had already placed a 'sell' rating for the stock, amid the global economic slowdown. 'The Satyam management's continuance seems to be untenable regardless of the new board composition. What this sorry episode has done is leave a huge hole in corporate governance at Satyam,' said Viju George, analyst at Edelweiss Securities, in a report to clients. The Satyam chief apologised 'to all Satyamites and stakeholders, who have made Satyam a special organisation, for the current situation.' 'I am now prepared to subject myself to the laws of the land and face consequences thereof,' Mr Raju added. The Satyam management is expected to meet shortly in the wake of the fraud, media reports said. 'We are shocked by the contents of his (chairman's) letter. We will meet shortly to strategise a way forward in the wake of the fraud,' Satyam's interim chief executive Ram Mynampati told media in Hyderabad. Late last year the World Bank barred Satyam from doing business with it for eight years over 'improper benefits' paid to staff. Satyam Computer Services is a leading software consultancy, system integration and outsourcing firm with clients across 65 countries. -- AFP |

Satyam founder arrested for criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, and falsification of records. Satyam's chairman earlier this week and admitted to overstating profits at the software exporter over several years by inflating the amount of debt owed to the company and understating liabilities. Satyam sank further ending down 40.3 per cent on the Mumbai Stock Exchange. Tough time for Satyam.

'Satyam staff not to get salaries for 2 months'
Friday, 09 January , 2009, 17:43 Satyam Computer on Friday announced holding back employees salaries for two months, even as rumours were rife that the company might lay off close to 15,000 workers in the coming days. The offices of Satyam Computer were rife on Friday with the talks about forthcoming pink-slips at the company, which needs over Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) every month just to meet its staff costs and has admitted that its cash position was not encouraging. Satyam: The truth at last! Employees said they have received an e-mail saying the company would hold back salaries for two months and asked staffers to bear with it. However, the company spokesperson declined knowledge of any such e-mail and the issue would be looked into. Even as the company spokesperson denied any layoff plans as of now, the rumours put the estimated job cuts at close to 15,000 by the end of this month. Chamber advises against bailing out Satyam Employees of the company said on condition of anonymity that they were hearing about imminent lay-off of people who were sitting on the bench or were close to completing their assigned projects. Besides, those being retained would be asked to take substantial salary cuts, they added. At the same time, global consultancy firm Hay Group's Practice Leader Mark Thompson said that employees would suffer the most from the fraud. Satyam's saga a setback to Industry: Nilekani Global HR consultancy firm Hay Group's Practice Leader Mark Thompson said: "Based on past experience . . . as with Enron, Worldcom and the Mirror Group, it is likely to be the employees who will suffer most from the fraud perpetrated by their bosses." Guilty CAs could be barred for life In early 2000, the collapse of energy trader Enron had left thousands of people out of work, another 8,500 had lost their jobs at accounting firm Arthur Andersen; and Tyco eliminated 15,000 employees. Analysts at technology research firm Forrester said employees and clients would soon desert the company amid competitive wooing by the rivals. Clients standing by Satyam: Interim CEO The research firm added that it has already been consulted by over half-a-dozen rivals of Satyam on competitive strategies to be adopted to take over the business from the clients of the beleaguered IT firm. Satyam on Wednesday made a shocking disclosure of fudging of accounts by its founder Ramalinga Raju, who then quit as chairman, leaving an uncertain future for the company and its 53,000 employees. Special: Trends 2009 Raju, in a statement on Wednesday, said Satyam's profits had been massively inflated over many years but no other board member was aware of the financial irregularities. The timing of this news is the most unfortunate part, given the fragile state of the global economy, Hay Group's Thompson said. More India business stories | Get the latest Sensex update The scandal will damage corporate India's reputation, may have implications for the whole BPO and IT Services sector and would certainly give some 'hotheads in the US a little more ammunition to use against the logic of outsourcing to India,' Thompson said. "However, there will not be a long term impact on the employer-employee relationship. Instead, we may get tied up with a series of reviews into corporate governance and a host of new regulations attempting to prevent this kind of thing from happening again," Thompson added. More India business stories | Get the latest Sensex update Another global staffing services firm Manpower said at this point of time 'employees should assess their current skill sets and explore the opportunities in sectors showing positive hiring intent like energy, telecom and mining.'

That news is from an unconfirmed email, a friend who works for Satyam check his emails yesterday. Salary for January 09' has already been cleared, but following months unknown.
I have a copy with me 'Satyam Induction Program', given to new Satyam hires. On page 5" Satyam Vision: "To leverage information, knowledge and technology to enhance human endeavor " Satyam Concept: The meaning of 'Satyam' Satyam, in Sanskrit, means truth. Satyam as an organization belives in being truth to all its stakeholders.  .....is to be one of the world's five most valuable integrated IT services and BPO companies" I hate to say this...but 'kalau dah keling, keling jugak'. |

I don't see how the company formerly known as "Truth" can afford to layoff 15K staff without filing for bankruptcy. Seeing that they don't even have the money to pay the employee's salary for 2 months, how are they able to pay for the severance package? Maybe a gov bailout? Not likely.
I guess that would probably come from breaking up the company into pieces and doing a firesale of those separate parts. They are also in a good position now to be acquired but probably be cherry picked for the best parts. I doubt anyone would want to buy this company as a whole now and assume all its liabilities. I think their auditor, Pricewaterhouse Coopers should be held accountable for certifying the fraudulent figures. Think Arthur Anderson/Enron but on a smaller scale.

Doubt Indian gov will bailout Satyam, already so malu, gov probably will distance itself from the company. Lucky this is India and not China, else ex-chairman likely to get death sentence. Anyway, thanks to Satyam, bring bad reputation to overall Indian tech companies like rivals, Wipro, Tata. Now, big customers, esp. Fortune 500 companies will scrutinize their Indian contracts and may reconsider outsourcing their services to other countries, like M'sia. Heh!

Satyam may need Rs 700-800 cr in January: Karnik
Moumita Bakshi Chatterjee Friday, 16 January , 2009, 09:50 New Delhi: Satyam Computer Services’ immediate requirement could be close to Rs 700-800 crore, including payment of salaries to employees and outstanding debt, its newly-appointed board member, Kiran Karnik, said. Asked about the funds requirement, Karnik said that overall estimate for January would be a notch higher than the next few months as the current month’s commitments entailed payment of some outstanding debt. “This is the back-of-envelope calculation, but January’s estimate is higher because there is some backlog of creditors… For the month of February and March, the requirement will be to the tune of Rs 600 crore each… If you adjust the inflow from receivables, the fund requirement will be in the range of Rs 1,000-1,500 crore by March end,†he said, adding that by March, the company expected to catch up with the cycle of receivables and expenditure. “We need the money, immediately, due to the crisis of cash flow… If the money comes from the Government, it is fine by us. In case it comes from the banks that is fine too. However, we are not looking for a bail-out as it is a profitable and viable company,†he said. Karnik, one of Government’s chosen names to steer the company out of the current financial imbroglio, said that Satyam would ideally like to look at loans on commercial terms. “Satyam does not need sops or subsidies,†he said. “The issue, however, is that the banks want the balance sheet, and Price Waterhouse (the external auditors of the Hyderabad-based software services firm) has indicated that its audit report could not be relied upon. As a company, we will be happy to take loans on regular terms. We are trying to sort out this issue. There are ways to get money infused in the context of the balance sheet,†he pointed out. On whether the company had ruled out seeking any financial help from the Government, Karnik said, “I am not aware of any precedence of Government directly lending money. If this entire issue is sorted out, there will be no need for subvention,†he said. Karnik said that the company had not yet formally written to its clients to speed-up receivables. “But the overall idea is to see if customers can do something to speed-up the payment schedule, which is normally pegged between 30 and 60 days,†he added. To another question of whether Vivek Paul (the former vice-chairman of Wipro) had emerged as the top pick for the post of CEO of Satyam, Karnik said, “We have not drawn up the list yet.†|

Fraud hapends everywhere, just depends whether someone will the scapegoat or someone dare to admit.
I think Satyam will go on, business as usual.But will cut more "fats" -idle employees and unwanted expenses. L&T might be the one who take over Satyam soon if they continue to acquire Satyam's shares |

if you have better/other choice, i would suggest look into others.
if not, look into the resignation rules. if its gonna bond/bind you like more than 1 month, then no. you take what you get, but don't get trapped by it, so the exit rules is important. |

Company structure is a mess, after hire you, you have to go through internal interview again. then if you did not manage to get any interview, you will be put on the bench.
during the time you on the bench, you are required to get you self ready to interview with any job, they even ask a network person to pick up java or testing skill in order to get them into a job. if after 1 month they not able to put you into a job position, your name will be given to HR and HR will start pressuring you to look for a new job at other company. if you manage to get a job position with-in Mahindra Satyam or get out source by them to other company, you can't join their client company for 2 years as mention in the contract, even you had been offered with a handsome increment by the client company. they will threaten to sue you. Other than that some manager in the company is good, some are so unprofessional, as they will use words to threaten you. As a professional IT company, they should not be treating employees like that. One more thing is the initial salary to recruit you is high, after that the yearly increment of the company is bad, you have to be very out standing to get better increment, for normal you will get RM 0 - 50 increment per year |
