Infosys reviews

Infosys clearly puts a preference on India-based employees first, then India employees who have relocated to the USA or Canada (I can speak to North America - I'm sure it is the same globally); if you are an American of non-Indian ancestry expect to be discriminated . Infosys is willing to be sued, break laws and pays fines as a "cost of doing business"; this is readily documented and is no secret. If you look at those who get awards, are Delivery Managers, Directors, Industry Principles, leadership in general, 98% are from India yet Infosys does over 60% of their business in North America. All JL6 and below are treated no differently than a "replaceable cog in a machine." Granted, I'm sure there are areas in Infosys that are not like this. This has been my experience for close to 3 years. I gave it a go for personal reasons to WFH due to family needs, and I'm ready to leave. Over the past 3 years I've been here, global attrition has been just over 25% (per SEC Quarterly Reports); INFY employs over 350,000 worldwide, do the turnover and loss of intellectual capital math. No sense of loyalty, just as much billable time and "show me the money". We all have reasons to stay for an employer. Your choice. I'm ready to leave.

If you are thinking "oh, it can't be that bad" after reading some of the reviews on here, I am here to assure you that it is actually that bad. I was hired as part of a new design program and the miscommunications or lack of communication started from day 1. They will try to relocate you all across the country and back again, and blame you for being uncooperative if there are no projects. I didn't hear from my manager for weeks at a time with no guidance on what to do. There is very little actual work to be done and they will try to push you onto projects you have literally no experience for (they tried to have me join a client as a programmer) and will expect you to be able to do anything for them on very little notice. Even the separation process was a mess. The HR rep missed my exit interview and I had no way to contact them. I was unable to return company assets for a month because no one answered my emails requesting a mailing address to send them to. No one is ever at the office. There is a company culture of no accountability, no responsibility, and no empathy.
