Poor Pay

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!!

Pros

Can't think of anything relevant

Cons

No communication about project/client Unable to find a suitable project for an employee with 23 years of experience across a wide variety of technologies, domains, and industries Very little thought given to identify how to best utilize the strengths of an employee Very little onboarding assistance for people relocating from other places (even from outside the country)

Pros

Hahaha really? Do I have to? The best part is that if you're dedicated enough to your career you'll find another job.

Cons

-Pay is, in a word, mediocre -No communication about things you actually need to succeed -Learning materials are misspelled and ineffective -You will go months between training and actual work -Was asked to move multiple times after being assured I'd be put in a permanent location...after I moved across the country! -You have to fight over clearly written policies when trying to file reimbursement claims -Relocation bonus is entirely insufficient -If you're like me, you'll actually be forgotten about. I had a few projects killed, and I think if I had stayed I could have sat for an entire year in a corner without something to do -Adding to the last point, we are talking about ~6 months of sitting in a corner playing crosswords and job searching with no communication -You won't know who your management is -HR will just make something up that you can't hold them to if they don't know the answers to your questions -You will be told to use things on the self service platform that it turns out only work in India -Self service platform has embarrassing UI for a supposed tech company -Your interests will not be considered in your stream placement -Training was conducted by some random woman they flew in from India who admitted she didn't teach the things she was supposed to. We were hopeless in our tests. -There were hurricanes near our training site and the only communication we got was reminding us to update our life insurance policy. -None of the technology works and it will be your problem always -Coworkers are generally fine but are so rude to the facilities employees, piling up trash and throwing out liquids. -Zero way to move up. The progression system is designed to utilize people cheaply until they die. The only way to be anywhere is seemingly to be hired into it. -The emails they send you are basically spam. -They blamed me for the obvious miscommunication in telling me to go somewhere I'd have nothing to do. Hello, it was in the offer letter! -They'll likely have you train on side of the country, then ask you to somewhere on the other side, neither of which is close to your home even though they will certainly be training people there. -Employees all speak foreign languages in the office. Nothing inherently wrong with that, except if you can only speak English don't expect to be chatting much with your coworkers or making many friends. -Those that do have work to do will have mandatory calls at 9pm usually. -Meetings being scheduled until 6pm even though you won't have anything to contribute. -Half our office got moved to a new office over an hour away with no increase in pay, and the possibility of a pay decrease if they moved closer. THAT'S NOT A JOKE. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT LOWERING PEOPLE'S PAY. -Benefits are pathetic. They think they can run it like they're still in India and that we won't notice. 401k plan is difficult to set up and they only just started doing matching. -Zero autonomy in American locations. Everything needs a whole day delay to get approved in India and it just doesn't make sense from a business perspective not to give American based management a budget and some freedom.
