What are the aspects of the work culture at Infy that you

like?

The atmosphere of growing and gaining knowledge is one of

Infosys' strongest attributes.  Since the company is relatively young in a fast

developing economy, there is a lot of emphasis on producing one's best possible

work while fostering a community of collaboration.  In an open environment where

communication among all levels of employees is encouraged, it's hard not to

learn something new everyday.

Can you explain why you decided to take up a work stint at

Infosys?

Gaining meaningful professional experience abroad has

always been a top priority of mine.  Through observing the interchange of forces

which shape our world, I understood the enormous transformative power of the

multinational corporation.   Also, I recognized that the global influence of the

business would increase dramatically as I began my career. 

In terms of accepting my job in India with Infosys, many of

my classmates secured jobs in finance or accounting in New York City, as the

undergraduate business program produces great job candidates in these areas.Â

Personally, I am more interested in the development aspect of capitalism and

technology in the emerging economies, and considered venturing into microfinance

or the non-for-profit world.

Luckily, my current role at Infosys, working for a

world-class organization in the developing world, perfectly combines my diverse

professional interests.  I am generously afforded the ability to gain strategic

insight into the corporate world, simultaneously directly experiencing what a

growing economy truly entails.

Can you share some of your experiences working here?

Overall, I greatly enjoy working with my colleagues.  An

environment of mutual learning is strongly encouraged, as most go beyond their

duties to share their knowledge.

A recent example of fruitful collaboration took place in a

brainstorming session.  In this meeting to discuss specific project ideas to

support Infosys' latest branding initiative, I made a proposal for an idea I had

been working on for awhile.  As my pitch was valued by the senior management, I

will now spearhead its implementation as a major component of the company-wide

marketing directive.  This type of creative collaboration is highly motivating,

and one of the main reasons I like working for Infosys.

Also, my regular work position of managing a strategic

flagship program provides an insightful angle to explore the convergence of

commerce and culture.  Not only am I at the frontline of the IT industry in

mapping Infosys' strategic positioning in the global services industry, but I

work with a range of international businesses and professionals in managing how

IT affects our lives.

What strikes you about Infosys as a company?

I've noticed that Infosys employees truly revere our

founder and Chief Mentor, Narayana Murthy.  He's a national figure of

admiration, whose entrepreneurial story is held in high esteem not only among

fellow employees, but also the rest of the nation.  I've also found myself

boasting about my employer when I've traveled the country, as the company and

Murthy generate a lot of respect.  Compared to the US, this kind of loyalty and

high company esteem is rare.

What are the aspects of the work culture at Infy that you

like?

I like the fact that there is so much to learn here, and

the environment is also very conducive to learning.  My colleagues are all very

helpful and enable me to contribute effectively to the project.

Can you explain why you decided to take up a work stint at

Infosys? 

There really isn't a question if you get to work with the

best in the industry.

Can you share some of your experiences working here?

From the time I was in Mysore undergoing my training to

now, it has been a unique experience.  Working hard during the training, staying

up late, the beautiful campus all contribute to the memories.  Bangalore is

where I finally came face to face with the industry and formed my primary

opinion of what it's like to work in the software field.  Besides this, every

day is an experience here since you get to learn so much and the process of

learning is great.

What strikes you about Infosys as a company?

How long have you been working at Infosys? 

 7+ years 

What are the aspects of the work culture at Infy that you

like? 

 From how I see it, there are three dimensions of the work

culture at Infosys. The physical environment - is quite outstanding, the social

and cultural dos give the feeling of belonging and most importantly the work

ethic which provides the opportunity to perform and the recognition for

performance.

Can you explain why you decided to take up a work stint at

Infosys?

There were a couple of things that convinced me that Infy

was the right place for me. It was a place where I could get my hands dirty  -

the exposure was tremendous in terms of the breadth and depth of

work. Unlike most other business solutions company this was a company started by

IT professionals and it reflects in all that the company does.   

Can you share some of your experiences working here?

Looking back I am convinced that over the past 7 years my

expectations prior to joining Infosys were only reinforced through what I saw,

learnt and worked on.

What strikes you about Infosys as a company?

The Company wants to make a difference in the way it does

things. Be it in the way any stakeholder is treated - customers, employees,

investors, the vendors, the gardeners, the housekeeping staff, the drivers who

bring and take employees back - the list is endless. Similarly the effort in the

detail that goes into for example the Infosys annual report or even for that

matter CSR activities, both as a company and as individuals, stands out

clearly.
