Pros

- Opportunity to work with clients who are globally renowned. - Industry wise structured business units - Opportunities in variety of technologies - Large Peer group - Decent campuses and facilities

Cons

- Pathetic attitude towards grass root employees. They do not care if the employee spends travelling 4 hours a day to work, they do not care how we travel. No subsidized rates for any facilitiy that we use. For a company that has 100,000 people I cannot understand the fuss. - Beaurocratic rules, 100s of levels of permission required to do some things, no cases genuine or not is entertained. Management openly asks you to quit and are relentless - Folks who work 14-15 hours a day stand to progress fast irrespective of whehter you do some thing meaninful in those hours or not. - Certification policy is the worst logic I have ever heard in my life. Tying up your salary and promotion to it makes it a clever way to cut costs and control people. - Poor offshore salary. For a person to handle a family of 3 in a city is impossible with the salary you get. - HR folks are overheads, they are neither utilized effectively nor are they capable of much - Performagic, the appraisal tool used is so poor that at end of day you cannot make out who is good and who is poor. - Middle managers do just people management and quality processes (that too poorly) and majority of them are so poor technically. Sometimes I cannot believe that Infy is an IT company.

Pros

The co workers were nice.

Cons

Low salary Terrible company politics Made fake promises around h1b filing but had to get exceptions and so much follow up and stuff to get it approved. Most managers dont give a s**** about your well being at all and they dont take your side when you are working with clients. If your client is miserable then your life is also miserable. The HR is also useless and incompetent for the most part. You cant even get screens and other equipments for your work. You need to go through ten rounds of some dumb approvals and what not and then even after that its not guaranteed. All the benefits I got were because I had good relations with my manager but this shouldnt be the case. Every employee should be treated equally.
