Infosys Project Manager reviews

No work-personal life balance. Most of the onsite employees have to work extra hours to co-ordinate with offshore teams, taking a toll on personal life. If you are a project manager, it will be tough, not because of your abilities, but because of the business model. Most of the employees leave when they become Programmer Analyst, leaving only entry level software engineers to work with. Which means that either the Project Managers or some PA do most of the work at the expense of the entire team which is not trained anyways. Their business model is based "head count" and not quality of the employees. Remember one of the senior managers saying ... We want to become the Walmart in services and do not need many smart people around. Avg people are what we are looking for.

1. It's growing at a very fast rate; so big that it is getting unmanageable 2. Career planning and the companies support to meet ones goal is almost non-existent 3. Most people end up working on a technology or business area that a person is not interested to work in. This goes back to #2, unaligned to career path/meeting goals. 4. The bi-annual appraisal system is a facade - its an extremely time consuming exercise whose benefit is rarely realized.
