Pfizer Hires Infosys + Satyam Contractors

Friday, November 14, 2008

According to news reports, Pfizer has shown the door to American employees and is replacing them with H1-B Visa holders as contractors from Indian companies - Infosys Technologies and Satyam Computer Services.

A Pfizer spokesperson said,
Pfizer has historically used third-party IT vendors from the US and other countries for software development, applications support and for daily IT-related functions. However, this procedure wasn't designed to replace local non-Pfizer personnel with those from outside the US.
Satyam said that it was mainly due to its core competencies in Pharmaceutical that is is getting contracts, while Infosys decided to stay mum [maybe didn't want any H1-B issues to be raised in times of global crisis]
