Merger integration still ongoing β cultural clash between LTI (consulting) and Mindtree (engineering) Below-market compensation for senior and specialized roles Smaller scale than Big 4 Indian peers β less global presence Post-merger restructuring has created uncertainty and role duplication Onshore roles under pressure as combined entity optimizes delivery mix
