Pros

1.Good work culture 2. Big name and big brand 3. All facilities for mind relaxation (sports [All sports], yogas, swimming, weekly events and parties) 4. Almost no work pressure

Cons

1. Very low salary. 2. No hike in salary: Infosys have Rating system. Based on this number , employees get the yearly hike. This rating number can be 3(Not good),2(Okay),1(Good),1+(Very good). If you are getting rating as '3', you will be in mess You will get yearly hike as big 0%. Even if it is '2', even then you may get the yearly hike as 2-3% which is almost equivalent to 0%. I know some employees who have worked in Infosys for more than 7 years. They started with the salary package as 3.25 but now they are getting even less than 7. If your rating is 1+(Very good-Very very rare to get), even then you wont get more than 10 to 12 % yearly hike This only con is enough over all pros. So you might not want to stay in infosys for long duration unless you are very sure of getting an US-Europe onsite opportunity. 3. US Onsite opportunity is not guaranteed. I know one employee who has stayed in Infosys for the last 8 years to get US onsite, but still he hasn't got it. He is totally dumped now even after spending whole hearted effort all these years

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.
