Infosys Consulting Principal salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Good work-life balance and security. There is no hustle culture unlike other consulting firms which makes stress on the lower side.

Dislikes

Many. - Salary, Perks and benefits. Even though they may hire at a premium, the salary growth is negligible afterwards, even zero y-o-y at times. - CEO seems to have no handle on the culture and systems of the organization, it is largely driven by larger Infosys corporate

Likes

Work life balance, Good people, structured organisation with overall good employee policies, lot of internal platforms/sponsorship for learning

Dislikes

Salary is below market standard; You get hired at 10 and stay for 3 years, your salary goes 10.3 with a promotion while someone gets laterally hired at 15 or 20 so it’s kind of frustrating. Promotions are extremely slow and now they handover dry promotion with a hike of 5% which results in actually reduction in salary than increase.

Likes

If you are lucky the project work will be interesting and you will get to do some meaningful work.

Dislikes

No growth in any aspect. No hikes, no promotions and bonus is never as expected. Performance evaluation will be done every 6 months but hikes and bonus will be delayed by 10-12 months. Bonus cycle is such that if you quit the job, you will loose your bonus for that year.

Team, experienced leads,

Dislikes

Bad hike, delayed promotion, HR is only namesake. They give variable in name of bonus ( which also delayed and mostly 70-90%) They just have policies to not give money to employees, like if you are on notice period they won't give the bonus payout even if you resigned after that period (for which bonus/variable is given)

Likes

Work life balance is good, no work pressure, most days you only work 4-5 hours without stress

No skill development, lack of good projects, salary structure is badly designed, appraisals are bad, promotions are delayed
