Vantaggi
- Multilangual environment - nice, neat environment, easily reachable from the railway station or from the city centre - employees with great personalities and great mindset - A small lunch allowance, that doesn't cover the price of a coffee - A great coffee machine brewing coffee for a symbolic price - Food distributors - Wonderful clients - Limited still hidden and existing opportunities to grow
Svantaggi
- A good 90% of jobs can't cover a 1 month studio rent. You can request a social aid if your rent + energy covers more than 30% of your salary and you have stayed long enough in Czech Republic. - However, all the management will expect you to express how generous they are to offer you such a "competitive" salary and that you are going to be all extatic when you receive a letter from one of the headquarter executive bragging how good this financial year was for him. NB - salary bonuses and salary raises were frozen and after negociation, ended up being just insultingly low for the highest performers. - KPIs and leadership are very poorly built, leading to miss opportunities to make Infosys Brno an even bigger business partner all over Europe. - As a mess tolerant person, I can tell you internal tools are a nightmare of a mess. Almost all employees gave up on even trying to use them if they don't have to. - Propaganda from Indian headquarters about what they did during their weekend and free-time all over the internal tools, spamming the corporate mailboxes of everyone - Infosys values are not lived in Brno. Brno is just a place where the 5-10 same people (managers mostly) send photos about how they participated to internal events (Gay pride day, etc.) faking culture of the company to match the corporate KPIs. - Emitting doubts about how wonderful everything goes can cost you your job. Including improvements. You can be fired any time for any reason, but they claim it is a very stable company and they hardly fire anyone. During my career at Infosys, they continuously fired by waves projects - again, wrong KPIs, turning valuable employees into monkey job assets, lost opportunities.
