Infosys FAQ

Pros

Free coffee and the ice machine sometimes works

Cons

Zero organization. No one seems to know what anyone else is doing and there is no communication which creates a ton of duplicated and unnecessary work. Systems are antiquated and rarely work as they should. The office itself is old and unaccommodating. The nice modern side is reserved for visitors. The actual employees work in what feels like a dungeon. I had to wait an entire week to get system access when I first started and I've been here for 4 months and have still not gone through training. For someone that craves order this place is an absolute nightmare. There's also a ton of turnover (not surprising). The pay is terrible and there are no bonuses. Co-workers that have been here for years say they've been at the same pay rate for years. The company claims to offer modern tech options and automation but what that really means is poorly paid employees are stuck in dirty broken cubicles to do tedious manual tasks. I'm already looking for a different job.

Advice to Management

Communicate regularly with your employees! Update the facilities.

Pros

Infosys provides new grads an opportunity to get a foothold in the tech industry unlike most companies. Infosys invests in your self development by providing live training sessions, courses and certifications for free! Infosys provides better then average job security by having an extensive network of clients and provides great insurance benefits for medical, dental and vision. Infosys is a recognized and respected company and a great fit for your early career.

Cons

As with many IT tech companies you may work past 9-5 depending on project needs. The salary at Infosys is on the lower side of industry average but good for entry level.

Pros

Initial training is good. It will set you up for a decent career in software industry.

Cons

For onsite deputes, Infosys will discontinue employer contribution to India Provident (pension) fund after a limited time, an year or so (and their India pension fund contribution is also very negligible, anyhow). Plus, there is no contribution to 401K or Bonus or ESIP for US deputes. On top of all that, the pay for deputes is also among the industry lowest. Essentially, if you work long term for Infosys at US on deputation, you will end up losing on a lot of fronts - no pension plan, not any decent savings due to low pay, frequent relocations etc. It might be okay for a short term stint, say ~2 years; after that, it’s better to explore better opportunities elsewhere! Company loyalty is fine; but one needs to care of themselves and their family, first. Unfortunately, Infosys doesn’t seem to give a damn about that for their long term, loyal employees!! It’s just numbers and resources for them, take it or leave it! Not much work-life balance either to boot. I worked for 13+ years for this company. After all these years, I don’t have any money saved for retirement; got some peanut amount as Provident Fund and Gratuity. I feel bad I didn’t think much about my retirement. I should have explored for better opportunities 5 years back!!
