Pros

2) Infy Banaglore and Hyderabad have good managers and good projects and so the work culture is OK compared to other branches of Infosys at Chennai, Trivandram are not good places to work because of lack of projects ( people on bench for more than 3 onths), and the managers are very mean and not good team players.

Cons

I am glad that there is a blog on this topic. I too was eager to join Infosys as a fresher but after coming to Infosys, I repented. Reason: 1) Infosys is the software company with the highest attrition rate, this shows work dissatisfaction. many people leave so thats why they always keep recruiting freshers. 3) It is literally a modern sweatshop where we have to work atleast 10 hrs per day to be deemed as an efficient employee, too much of stress. The Mysore training is so STRESSFUL, they squeeze a 1 year MS-IT degree syllabus in just 3 months training program, so you can imagine the stress we go though. IT IS NOT WORTH IT GOING THRU ALL THIS STRESS AND UNHAPPINESS FOR A BRAND NAME CALLED 'Infosys'. It is better to join in someother sw company for same or higher salary that gives us a better work/family/life balance. 4) Our talents do not get recognition. we jus have to do same routine work which boss tells us. 2) Infy Banaglore and Hyderabad have good managers and good projects and so the work culture is OK compared to other branches of Infosys at Chennai, Trivandram are not good places to work because of lack of projects ( people on bench for more than 3 onths), and the managers are very mean and not good team players.

Pros

2 at-home days per week

Cons

Mandatory office time even when entire team is halfway across the country. Lack of upwards mobility. Constant pressure to inject generative AI into tasks that it can’t or shouldn’t do. Small increases in pay occur only once every 2-3 years.
