- Campus infrastructure. - Campus location. - Facilities and food-court.

Cons

This review is for Infosys Automation Group unit/vertical. Not Infosys company level review. Almost everything is wrong with Infosys Automation Group. - No respect to employees. - Too much biased and politics. - They have their own policies. - If Infosys level policy states 9.5 hours, Automation Group management will add additional 2 to 3 additional hours for meetings, lunch break, discussion. - Estimate are made taking into account of Saturday, Sundays and even National Holidays. Employees worked on May 1st and Jan 26th also. - Every day team is asked to work till 8 PM IST. Day starts at 8 AM IST. - Most of the managers/leads/architect in Automation Group lacks technical competencies or latest skills. - Every meeting or discussion ends with philosophical talks. - Engineers are compared with uneducated day-to-day workers like Plumbers, Builders, Maids, House-keepers. - None of the team leads or managers are ready to accept inputs from freshers from IITs or NITs or Premier Institutes. - Expert Track employees are asked to work 3-times more than normal employees, since Expert Track is paid more salary. - Any technical discussion with management or leads, ends up with philosophical talks or degrade talks. - Leads are hired internally from Infosys BPO who does not have any technical skills. - Management comments about employees physical appearance and eating/dressing habits. - Skilled employees quits Infosys Automation Group within a year or so. - Employees are frustrated each day and getting mentally harassed. - If you know how to sugar-talk and say YES to management, you are promoted and bonus is paid in full.
