Infosys Software Developer reviews

Not much technical growth. Most projects are testing and support projects. Endless hours of working - working 12 hours is normal -you can't rant about it. I have seen my friends working for 14 hours in night shift. And this is not something people do to be competitive, they are forced for that by their managers. Little respect for employees by their managers. If your team works for 13 hours and you leave in 12 hours , you are considered to have negative attitute. Have little aspirations before you join infosys . work less and enjoy ... don't think you will have brand value on joining infosys. There are 1.2 lakh people working here, which means every fourth person in india working in IT sector is an infoscian. If you have little aspirations here , you will enjoy your life.

I am glad that there is a blog on this topic. I too was eager to join Infosys as a fresher but after coming to Infosys, I repented. Reason: 1) Infosys is the software company with the highest attrition rate, this shows work dissatisfaction. many people leave so thats why they always keep recruiting freshers. 3) It is literally a modern sweatshop where we have to work atleast 10 hrs per day to be deemed as an efficient employee, too much of stress. The Mysore training is so STRESSFUL, they squeeze a 1 year MS-IT degree syllabus in just 3 months training program, so you can imagine the stress we go though. IT IS NOT WORTH IT GOING THRU ALL THIS STRESS AND UNHAPPINESS FOR A BRAND NAME CALLED 'Infosys'. It is better to join in someother sw company for same or higher salary that gives us a better work/family/life balance. 4) Our talents do not get recognition. we jus have to do same routine work which boss tells us. 2) Infy Banaglore and Hyderabad have good managers and good projects and so the work culture is OK compared to other branches of Infosys at Chennai, Trivandram are not good places to work because of lack of projects ( people on bench for more than 3 onths), and the managers are very mean and not good team players.
