TL;DR: Infosys has announced salary hikes ranging from 5% to 8% for most employees, with top performers receiving up to 20%. While the company cites industry challenges for the modest increases, many employees express disappointment, expecting higher raises given Infosys's strong financial performance.
Hey folks! Guess what? Infosys, our country's second-largest IT giant, has just rolled out salary hikes! But hold on to your seats; the increments are between 5% and 8% for most of the team. If you've been knocking it out of the park, you might see up to a 20% bump. These changes kicked in from January 1, 2025, for team leaders and below, and from April 1, 2025, for managers.
Now, let's break it down:
Met Expectations: 5-7% hike
Commendable Performance: 7-10% hike
Outstanding Performance: 10-20% hike
But here's the kicker: these hikes are 5-10% lower than last year's. Plus, performance bonuses have taken a hit too.
Despite Infosys reporting a net profit increase of 11.4% to $800 million and revenue growth of 7.6% to $4.9 billion in the last quarter, many in the team were hoping for a bit more in their paychecks. One employee shared that usually, their MS Teams chats are buzzing on salary day, but this time, it's pretty quiet.
Infosys isn't alone in this boat. Other big players like HCLTech and LTIMindtree have also delayed or reduced salary hikes, pointing to global economic uncertainties.
From MediaFx's perspective, it's crucial to recognize the hard work of employees, especially when the company is doing well. While it's important to navigate economic challenges, ensuring fair compensation is key to keeping the team motivated and bridging income gaps.
