I have seen quite a few vague, but negative, posts about Infosys - can someone please explain your view on the company from an employee standpoint, or just generally point out what to be wary of? Thanks so much!

Personally I’ll avoid Indian owned consulting companies, a friend of mine worked at Infosys and she wasn’t getting any pay. Months will go by nothing, she had to get a lawyer involved. They owed her like 2 months paycheck before her first check came in, and it wasn’t the full amount. I have a lot to say but I’ll end here.

Why do people hate WITCH companies generally? I’ve seen the comments and read multitudes of reviews online but can’t really pin down the real reason they have such a bad reputation. Comments seem VERY personal-experience based and vary per person.

I was hoping to work AT Salesforce, but have only applied for a few jobs since deciding to leave my current role and Infosys is one that I have an interview scheduled for. Have you worked for a WITCH company?

Infosys is not a very good company my husband worked there as a PM and they did the same thing. These companies from India are terrible and also be careful of another company called HCL America I worked there for a few months and I had to get the texas workforce commission involved they shorted my check over half of it and didn't give an explanation as to why. I had to file a wage claim to get my money. I'll never work for any Indian based company.

Infosys has a reputation for purchasing off IT and in some cases telecom subdepartments from existing companies. Take a fortune company struggling to function, they sell off a chunk of their on-shore business to Infosys, offshore the rest and then have lighter P&L.

The end result is because said company sold off their IT, they pulled all resources from the branch to be transitioned to Infosys and completed layoffs more often than not. What gets transferred or "acquired" is the rabble that the Fortune company didn't find further value in, with all of its investment for the past 6 to 18 months having been removed (it was a dead department in maintenence mode) and they're just leftover corpses following layoffs for Infosys to run into the ground or terminate ("rebadge") later.

These leftovers are neither the best nor brightest of people in most cases - because talent knows what happens when Infosys is buying them, and as an Indian-managed company, those people are burned to the ground.

I worked there for 5 years. My experience was basically being thrown in the ocean without a life jacket. Lol. I most of the time received better treatment from the client employees. I stayed because I honestly got comfortable. I wasn’t paid as well but I also did what I wanted lol. If you are in a situation where you need a job do not plan on building a career here. You will become stagnant and they do not pay for any certifications. They also try to force employees to lie about the best places to work. They do not look out for you unless you are Indian. I was laid off in June and now I make way more money with better job security.

Yep. And they don’t hide it either. Also they are very unorganized.
