Pros

-Big Campuses in remote areas in the cities far away from most of the employees' homes. -Nice Gardens maintained at the cost of employees' Salaries..

Cons

This year, the employees recieved a letter from their CEO informing them about the financial crisis. Employees were informed that this year, there will not be any salary hikes or promotions. They were also advised to accept any project they were alloted, irrespective of their specialisation, or be ready to get a tag of poor performer and get sacked. A few days after this, the board took a collective hike of more than 10 crore. This included the CEO who took a hike of more than 50 lakhs. More follows here : -The training process is a big sham. They effectively teach nothing in the traning. Non - computer science graduates are as clueless to programming after the training as they were before it. -No consideration of employee's traning branch at the time of Prjoect allotment. Java trained persons are alloted Mainframes projects and Vice versa. Thus only thing that matters here is the availability of the person. And the Employee is punished in appraisal if he does not perform well enough in a technology he has no idea about. - No consideration for employee's choice of location too. They are just randomly alloted. -Management is highly incompetent. They are ignorant of basic principles of man management and try to get the task done from anybody they can get their hands on. Most of the mangers are the persons who could not get jobs anywhere else due to their incompetency, so they just stay here and make other's lives miserable. - Managers keep on lying to the employee about his career plans. Promotions and onsite are provided only on the basis of flattery and sycophancy. Straight trees are always cut in Infosys while the sycophant creepers at Management's boots are promoted to the top. -Middle level management has absolutely no accountalbility. They even have the right to choose the employees who will provide a 360 degree feedback about them. They can make or ruin a person's life based on their whims and fancies. -Personal grudges are settled at the time of appraisal and Promotion. Performagic - the appraisal tool is totally useless. The real rating is done by a Draconian CRR system behind closed doors and is thurst upon the emplyees without any say of the latter. -Policies affecting employees get secretely changed and applied on back date, to hit most number of people. For example - They made it mandatory to spend at least 9:15 hrs (Increase form 8.8 hrs in past) in office effective from a quarter before and the people who were found not to comply to this in the last quarter had to suffer in form of leave deduction and salary cut. Thus they got punished for a crime they never committed. -HR is totally apathetic towards employees. Only thing they can say is -" No body is keeping you from joining other firms". -I do not think I need to say anything about the compensation. A Lot of people have alreaady exposed the truth.

Pros

Free Coffee, Free Internet access, Less security to take client's confidential data home(to personal laptop)

Cons

## At Infosys there is no value to performance. The company brags that performance is cherished there but that's not the truth. No matter how the trainees perform in their supposedly "world-famous" training, at the time of posting they are thrown here and there, randomly. ## It is strongly believed that capability can be had from experience alone and that experience comes by age ONLY. A fresher who is more talented than any of the 'experienced' professionals in the project, are despised of. ## Managers find it very convenient to get the work one from the same employee who has been doing it, no matter with what quality, since a long time. This creates dependency on that employee and deprives others of such a responsibility and opportunity. ## There is NO quality in the work. Only documents. The actual work delivered is worse than what 10+2 passouts would do. A lot to write about the company policies too. The list is neverending....
