Infosys reviews

1) A lot of Politics in the middle and senior management 2) A very bad policy to find projects among bench. Talent managers don't release a resource to a project even when the employee finds one for himself. Reason being the project doesnot belong to the current Business Unit. 2) Very Bad Policies Policies are changed very frequently to worsen the envireoment for the employees. Even sudden changes in salary is done as they have control over variable components which accounts to 30-40% of the salary. They can make this 30-40% to 0 take home. 3) No work life balance Even a letter for the doctor cannot get you out of over night assignements. there are always repercussions. 4) Infosys has process only for name They have a process for almost every scenario only to make you happy. None of the process works out as HR is the mouth piece of the middle management. 5) very low compensation Pay very low compensation and annual hike is 3% on a average. 6) Very bad facilities Food court finds insects, glass pieces every day in their menu. Forced to buy food with in the campus 7) HR is not for the employee

People are often overworked and uncompensated for their extra work. In my time of less than 2 years in that company, it was not a work environment suitable for people wanting to progress or growth in terms of careers. Upper management, majority from India, had a very bad habit of promising so much, and not acting on those promises. In one case, in one project, the team was promised a Christmas party and this was not even delivered. To help the team cope with end of year festivities and also not to be left out, I had to organize our own event funded by our own pockets and majority from my own pocket. What I really hated was a comment by one manager, when I had inquired why the agents were not being paid their due "overtime" and was responded, (i quote) "we did not ask them to do overtime, so why should we pay them for it?" . . . from that point on, it was on a down hill slide. I had of course had to advise my teams on the manager's response and to help them to have a suitable "Work-Life" Balance, requested that they abide by their schedule and log out on time. If they require to finish some work or project by client request, they had to first get an written email request from their managers or team leads to perform the overtime request. Compassion seems to be an alien word to some of the managers (mostly indian). Out of 6 indian expats I had met, only 2 had a compassionate heart. For those planning to work here, just always have yourself covered by documentation appropriately.
