Infosys reviews

Stupid HR policies. They believe in employee policing, enforcing impractical rules etc. You never get recognized even with best appraisals. Regionalism is rampant everywhere from onsite to promotion. They prefer to hire laterals from outside rather than promote their own people internally even if outsiders are not competent enough. A lot depends on your equation with manager rather than the actual work performed. Salary is very low compared to similar jobs elsewhere. A software engineer with 4 years Infosys experience after becoming a senior system engineer post iRace can see an IIT fresher get a higher role. Their PR efforts don't justify the ground realities.

1) Too many people: There are just too many people in Infosys. No matter how many facilities Infosys provides to its employees, the facilities don't seem enough. Long lines at food courts, although there are few big food courts, long lines at ATMs although there are around 10 ATMs, long lines at Laundromat, although there are some 40 machines in bangalore center, long waiting for parking lot even though they have multi level parking lot. The list is endless. 2) Too many policies: There are so many policies. Too much control on employees. This again drills down to the huge workforce that infy has. If they don't keep control on employees, then employees start abusing the system. 3) Not so handsome salaries (except the top brass) . 4) Appraisals/Promotions: The process is fair but it's too complicated. 5) More talk, less innovation: I feel they talk too much about innovation, and they just talk. 6) Client centric.
