Thread regarding Global Payments Inc. layoffs

• What Infosys U.S. Employees Are Telling Management*

We analyzed employee reviews from 2024-2026 to understand the most common complaints and recommendations from Infosys employees in the U.S.

Six recurring themes stand out:

1. Pay employees fairly. Employees want competitive salaries, regular raises that keep up with inflation, and better rewards for strong performance.

2. Communicate better. Reviewers complain about unclear decisions, poor communication from management, and uncertainty surrounding assignments and career opportunities.

3. Help employees find projects. Employees want Infosys to take more responsibility for matching them with appropriate assignments rather than leaving them to find projects themselves.

4. Treat employees like people, not resources. Some reviewers feel that client demands, utilization targets, and business priorities take precedence over employee well-being.

5. Make career growth real. Training opportunities are appreciated, but employees want promotions, meaningful assignments, and opportunities to actually use their new skills.

6. Cut the bureaucracy. Employees describe frustrating internal processes, administrative requirements, and lengthy approval procedures.

### What Employees Actually Said

A program analyst in Boston (April 2024):

Listen to your employees and fairly compensate them.

The same employee also wanted Infosys to help people develop expertise in their existing fields instead of pushing them into generic roles.

An associate software engineer in Raleigh (February 2024):

Performance based raises should be more common. Yearly raises to match inflation are also a must.

A technology analyst in Richardson, Texas (July 2024):

Help your employees get a project assigned not just let them find it.

### What This Means for Global Payments Employees Being Rebadged

Three things deserve particular attention.

1. Your current salary isn't the whole story.

Even if Infosys preserves existing salaries during the transition, what happens afterward? Will employees receive annual merit increases, bonuses, and opportunities for promotion? Compensation is already one of the most frequent complaints among Infosys U.S. reviewers.

2. Your assignment may matter more than your job title.

You might continue doing exactly the same work for Global Payments initially. But what happens when that assignment ends? Can Infosys move you to another client? Who is responsible for finding your next assignment, and what happens if no suitable project is available?

3. Your experience and relationships may not carry the same weight.

Global Payments employees have accumulated company knowledge, relationships, and experience. How will Infosys recognize that expertise? Will existing responsibilities, seniority, and career progression be preserved?

### Bottom Line

The reviews suggest that compensation, communication, and project assignments are recurring sources of frustration at Infosys. That doesn't mean every rebadged employee will encounter these problems, but they are worth addressing before the transition.

Here is a longer analysis.

• Global Payments to Infosys: What Employee Reviews Tell Us About Rebadging

If you're a Global Payments employee being rebadged to Infosys, here's something worth looking at before the transition.

We analyzed 123K Infosys reviews and 1.8K Global Payments reviews, focusing on employee ratings from January 2024 through October 2026. The comparison includes U.S. employees at both companies, rather than relying solely on worldwide averages.

How do the companies compare?

All ratings are on a 1-5 scale.

INF = Infosys, GP = Global Payments.

Global Payments scores higher in every category among U.S. reviewers. The largest differences are in compensation and work-life balance.

Interestingly, Infosys has a higher overall rating globally (3.58 versus 3.39), but the comparison reverses when looking specifically at U.S. employees.

What are employees saying?

A few findings stand out:

• Compensation: 41% of Infosys U.S. negative reviews mention pay, raises or financial rewards, compared with 21% at Global Payments.
• Work-life balance: Global Payments scores 3.60 versus 3.11 at Infosys. This is one of the clearest differences.
• Training: 23% of Infosys U.S. positive reviews mention learning and training, compared with 6% at Global Payments.
• Career opportunities: Ratings are nearly identical. Moving to Infosys doesn't necessarily mean better advancement opportunities.
• Project assignments: 13% of Infosys U.S. negative reviews mention assignment or work-quality issues, compared with roughly 2% at Global Payments.

These percentages measure mentions in review text, not the percentage of all employees experiencing a problem.

What could change after rebadging?

The biggest question isn't necessarily whether your daily work changes immediately. It's who controls your career and employment after the transition.

You may continue supporting Global Payments, but Infosys becomes your employer. That raises several questions:

1. Will salaries, bonuses, PTO and benefits remain unchanged?
2. Will remote and hybrid arrangements be protected?
3. Who will conduct performance reviews and approve promotions?
4. Will employees remain assigned to Global Payments indefinitely?
5. What happens if Infosys loses the contract or reduces the team?
6. Can employees be reassigned to other clients or locations?
7. Will years of service at Global Payments count toward benefits and seniority?
8. Are any employment protections temporary, and when do they expire?

These are questions employees should get answered in writing, not confirmed changes to the Global Payments transition.

What about job security?

The reviews cannot tell us whether transferred employees will face layoffs in six months or a year. They also don't establish what Infosys plans to do with the Global Payments workforce.

However, employees should understand what happens when their initial assignment ends, including any redeployment policies, compensation protections and employment commitments.

Bottom line

The employee reviews suggest that Global Payments employees should pay particularly close attention to compensation, work-life balance and management changes.

Infosys has some advantages, especially training and exposure to different projects. But its U.S. employees report lower satisfaction across every measured category.

One important caveat: these are voluntary reviews from employees in different jobs and circumstances. They are not a prediction of what will happen to rebadged Global Payments workers.

It would be useful to hear from anyone who has previously been rebadged to Infosys, especially those who remained assigned to their original employer's account.
