Infosys Sr. Software Engineer reviews

If you are lucky enough you might work for a great project with excellent feedback and wonderful onsite opportunities. But more often you'll be a victim of politics. Often we see that rotation for onsite opportunities is not followed. Whoever makes it abroad, stays abroad. The appraisal system is a total joke. Keep your manager happy for a good rating. Getting a good rating just by proving yourself, being good at work is not enough. Can kill your work /life balance. You are very much expected to be available during weekends. And people might think that you are just a phone call away. Recently they are making quite a mess with the job bands "better known as C-Life (article came out in Times of India)". So most of the employees are disgusted with that. Your younger colleague just might get paid more than you do.. :)

I personally had very bad experience as my manager tortured me at Infosys. But since it is a big company, joining a fresh project is like working in an altogether new company. So the work environment depends on the project. If you join there, Be very selective and ask project team members ,and enquire thoroughly, before joining any project.If they force you to join, then leave Infosys.
