Pros

• This is a Sweatshop • You gain lots of experience • Wear multiple hats and gain a wide range of experience

Cons

I am writing to share my experience as a former employee of Wipro, in the hope that it may assist others in making informed decisions and encourage appropriate oversight of the company's practices. As a U.S. citizen, I believe I was treated unfairly during my tenure at Wipro. I observed a clear pattern of preferential treatment toward H-1B visa holders and employees of Indian origin. This bias appeared to influence project assignments, internal opportunities, and overall employee treatment. When my project ended, I was not offered any follow-up interviews or reassignment opportunities, despite the company’s stated bench policy. In contrast, my colleagues from India were promptly placed on new projects and allowed to continue their employment. I was ultimately terminated without being given a fair opportunity for redeployment. In addition to these issues, Wipro's employment verification process is unnecessarily burdensome. They refuse to issue verification letters directly and require future employers to contact a generic verification email address. This process is inefficient, delays onboarding, and puts candidates at a disadvantage, especially when time is of the essence. In my view, these practices reflect a broader systemic issue within the company where U.S. citizens may be deprioritized. I strongly believe that Wipro’s hiring and employee management policies should be reviewed for compliance with U.S. employment and anti-discrimination laws. Based on my experience, I would advise U.S. citizens to exercise caution when considering employment with Wipro until these concerns are transparently addressed and corrected. • I think the U.S. citizens reported being treated unfairly compared to H-1B visa holders and employees of Indian origin. • I have observed bias in project assignments, internal opportunities, and overall employee treatment favoring Indian-origin employees. • Wipro does not issue verification letters directly; instead, future employers must use a generic email address. • This process is inefficient, slows down onboarding, and disadvantages candidates when time is critical.

Pros

Good place for freshers and early‑career professionals to learn technologies, processes, and client interaction, with “huge opportunities for learning new things.”

Cons

Onboarding for freshers can be slow and confusing, with delays before real project allocation

Pros

There are no pros to working for Wipro.

Cons

This company is a sh** show. There are too many managers and less and less people to do the actual work. They have people that negotiate contracts and then expect the company to make money. In reality, most of the time the contract is basically giving the house away. It is the employees that suffer. When the contracts go south, they cut more people. Those people are then screwed over. Be warned!! If your position ends on the 25th of the month, your health insurance also ends on the 25th of the month. Note that the premium you paid, is not pro-rated, justifying the end of coverage on the 25th. You still pay the usual premium, which should then have your coverage run through the end of the month. If they can destroy a person, they will. They want more and more and more from their employees. While they preach all this mental health, work life balance, it's a sham. They have no regard for the well being of the employee, which carries over to the employee's family.
