Bad culture and leadership coupled with poor strategy/fit within INFY=Negative environment - Senior Principal Infosys Employee Review

Very critical, political, non-communicative, non-supportive work environment that fosters a frustrating, negative corporate culture. This is not a mgt consulting company but rather all technology focused (do not get caught up in the sales rhetoric). Clients will never view Infosys as a management consulting company but rather an outsourcing organization. Therefore, Infosys Consulting competes against the parent company for technology consulting deals and there lies the problem. The consulting arm will never win and thus it becomes the sales force for the larger company but does not get the sales credit. If you were born outside of the US or previously worked at Deloitte you stand a much better chance of success. You are expected to work at any given moment, day or night, and the benefits are non-existent (no 401K), or very bad (healthcare) and everyone carries their own expenses in tune of $10k for 3 to 6 months. The review process is a joke- it sounds good on paper but in the end it comes down to who the partners want to reward or those people who have sucked up to the partners. A lot of good people have left or are looking to leave. The IP sounds good in a presentation but proves to be useless in an actual project because you have to build everything from scratch and does not provide the differentiating factors that were originally presented in the sales process.
