Pros

+ Nice colleagues + Nice working environment + Salary always received on time + Helpful HR department

Cons

- Low salary. A serious discussion about higher salary only possible when handing in your letter of resignation, which in many cases is way too late. Do not expect any promotion or salary raise even if you're told so. At least you will not be disappointed. - You don’t receive any bonus salary in the first 3 months and also not in your notice period (last 2 months) and they will also take away the 5th week of leave if you quit. That means you can forget about the promised 5th holiday week in your last year of employment. Those are basically all the benefits the company offers. The other “bonuses” are just empty points to fill the list. - Incompetent IT department – Total disaster. Some months ago the whole IT department resigned because of “dissatisfaction” and all the knowledge was gone. The company hired new people who cannot handle the load and have no one to train them and pass on the knowledge. - Receiving tons of spam emails every day. Those emails are usually messages about some Indian people’s birthdays or how happy they are at work. Those are the moments when you experience Indian mentality at its finest. Out of 50 emails there will probably be 2 relevant ones. But you have to find them first. Good luck! - The company intranet is a user-unfriendly joke. Tons of applications that are not thoroughly interconnected. The system is slow, links are not working. Needs to be redone from scratch. - The company’s reaction time on many important things is too slow. Approvals are needed for almost everything and it takes enormous amounts of time. The company is centralized in India and Indian approach is very… different from the European one. Do you have a problem? Please create a ticket and wait...and wait. - The ubiquitous cost saving policy affects everything around you. - Promises... those promises… – Just take a look at other people’s comments. - The company is so desperate for having good reviews on the Internet that it organizes meetings on “how to appear great without spending money” and asks people to write something nice about the company.

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.
