Salary is less. doesnt matter how long you work for them. they dont care(i worked for 13 years. but getting salary what 6 year candidate will get). Management doenst care on your loyality and performance.

...ng it as a subscription model for college students also and earning bug bucks. All the socialism of NRN applies to salary only, rest everything in infy is of capitalist culture

Dislikes

(1)They talk a lot about internal job rotations, career moves; it's all a sham. Resource managers simply do not allow employees to join desired opportunities because they have SLA to place them within a certain time, and also want to retain them within business unit even if the skills don't match. (2) Very hierarchy driven. Delivery manager holds the budget, promotion, onshore travel. They don't care about your skills and capability. For them everyone is a body which can be replaced (hence body shopping). (3) Strangely they collect rs 50 as parking charges per day for four wheelers within their campus. (4) huge employee base of 2 lakhs plus, makes it tough to find right answers for your queries. Years will go away trying to find out the right department. (5) they delay hikes and promotion. Usually apply it retroactively. For ex. In March 2021, they would give hikes that apply from Jan 2021. So u have to wait till March to know your hike. If not happy, then 3 month's notice period. So you end up wasting 6 months of your career. (6) once you take a release from a project, they backdate your allocation. This makes your utilisation less and also in bench on a backdate. This hampers appraisal

Onshore visa initiations are nominated irrespective of person travelled or not as part of retainment philosophy.

...d hike percentage usually do not cross single digits irrespective of top rating. Example, If salary is 100. JL6 - fixed pay-30% var - 5-15% super annuation - 30% tax bracket from govtd = 100-30-5% sa - 20% tax assumption=45 rs, so you get 45 at hand of your ctc is at 100 Similarly 20%var for JL5 and 10% var for JL4 Just do the math and how under par salary.

Management is worst. If they are not able to utilise day time of 9 hrs, then what kind of management and culture they are doing. Not sure. There is always urgency of tasks, they don't even bother about your health. They want to be available on weekends, holidays, leaves. Like 24x7 support they need. Worst company ever had.

Dislikes

Work culture, Urgency of tasks, Salary structure, Working hrs,

I got many right opportunities to work on varied and new areas like salesforce, big data and ml. But its not true for majority of the workforce. Mostly you do not get a choice and the pressure to reskill and score a high Digital Quotient is high. Every quarter there is a new set of reskill topics that you need clear to meet that met-expectation appraisal rating. So you need to be on toes mostly. There are always two streams you need to cover - client commitments and infy commitments.

Dislikes

The compensation is awful if you stay for long in same org. There are always years where there will be 0 hike so that effectively ruins your ctc.
