Cons

This review is for Infosys Automation Group unit/vertical. Not Infosys company level review. Almost everything is wrong with Infosys Automation Group. - No respect to employees. - Too much biased and politics. - They have their own policies. - If Infosys level policy states 9.5 hours, Automation Group management will add additional 2 to 3 additional hours for meetings, lunch break, discussion. - Estimate are made taking into account of Saturday, Sundays and even National Holidays. Employees worked on May 1st and Jan 26th also. - Every day team is asked to work till 8 PM IST. Day starts at 8 AM IST. - Most of the managers/leads/architect in Automation Group lacks technical competencies or latest skills. - Every meeting or discussion ends with philosophical talks. - Engineers are compared with uneducated day-to-day workers like Plumbers, Builders, Maids, House-keepers. - None of the team leads or managers are ready to accept inputs from freshers from IITs or NITs or Premier Institutes. - Expert Track employees are asked to work 3-times more than normal employees, since Expert Track is paid more salary. - Any technical discussion with management or leads, ends up with philosophical talks or degrade talks. - Leads are hired internally from Infosys BPO who does not have any technical skills. - Management comments about employees physical appearance and eating/dressing habits. - Skilled employees quits Infosys Automation Group within a year or so. - Employees are frustrated each day and getting mentally harassed. - If you know how to sugar-talk and say YES to management, you are promoted and bonus is paid in full.

Pros

Legitimate source of gainful project-based tech employment. Handles the headaches of looking for tech work and verifying your talent & legitimacy as a professional in the field, which is especially valuable in the age of AI. Additionally, they offer internal training resources to help ensure your skills are up to date with the current tech landscape.

Cons

Pay can be significantly lower than might be expected for tech work at higher levels, as their business model is as a staffing company, garnishing part of the wage paid by project clients as part of your employment. It's definitely very livable payment in most places, but it doesn't approach senior or even mid-level pay offered by many other US-operating employers in the tech space. This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time. Additionally, work conditions will be set at the behest of clients. Infosys is your pipeline to client projects, not often the host of projects themselves, so working conditions & expectations can vary by client.
