There should be better increment policies so that employee can meet up his requirements in this costlier world.
There should be better promotion policies too.

Pros

Good company to start your career with. The training modules & thorough learning modes help you to create a good foundation in your career.
Good Campus for sightseeing and enjoying

Cons

It includes a long list :
1. They do not pay at par with market and claim to maintain high level of professionalism while offering
2. Everything is paid... food, transport, even parking for your vehicle. If you reach office after 10 AM, you have to wait outside campus to let some bikes/cars vacate some space. Else park nearby and company deducts 15/day for parking. They think they are doing favour to employees by providing parking
3. Infosys just boasts a lot in media & news. In actual terms it is good for nothing. They say "with 17k crores of cash pile they will be the last to shut their company" but infact with a slight rumour of recession in market, they are the first one to deduct variable pay
4. They have their salary divided into variable components. Individual, Unit & Company performance. Anyone working hard to maintain a rating of 1 is still paid only 70% of the total variable component.
5. Lifts & Escalators stop at 5 PM for cost cutting. Even sometime bathrooms are locked.
6. No good projects. You will find yourself frustrated with job monitoring kinda jobs
7. People hired at roles of Leads & Managers are on bench for as long as 1.5 yrs. Finally a friend of mine quit after waiting for 15 months for allocation to a project. Though on bench, he was made to serve full 3 months of notice period
8. Employee need to maintain a quarterly average hours of 9hrs 15 mins --- time they need to spend in office
9. Employees do not get place to sit / computers to work after joining. Still required to stay in office for 9 hrs 15 min

Advice to Senior Management

Rather than being concerned about your profit margins & increasing the cash pile emphasise on harnessing the talent you have/hire.
With time, understand that you need to review your policies to make them employee friendly.
Rather than passing on the throne to founders, let young people lead the way

Pros

1) Knowledge sharing infrastructure is well in place
2) If you want to learn yourself there is enough material available

Cons

1) You will never ever get more than 75% of salary mentioned in your offer letter
2) 99% of People at PM, SPM, GPM level are Sycophants and they are there just to suck life out of you
3) A lot of policies are preached but HR will never ever allow you to use your options, better kill yourself and be free than escalating anything
4) Appraisal are one of the most sad and dramatic process here. People who had been in Org for more than 5-7 years are only ones considered eligible.
5) PMs will only tell you all the lies about policies and never allow you to get any clarification, if you manage to get right information it dont matter. PMs are your gods. Kneel and lick their feet if you want to live through your days at Org.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat human like human. People with good skills usually try to do their best and excel and sycophancy is a a big rot in Org that cant stand excellence. Do try to deal with this culture when there is still time left.

Pros

Training, Fair Policies, Nice campus

Cons

Values now don't exist in the company, iRACE, Too many employees, A lot of people on bench.

Advice to Senior Management

It is the employees who work, so treat employees as your biggest asset and not your campus.
