Pros

Infosys is a one of the good places to work but not the best to be! As an employee for your individual growth plan are much accomplished. You have good lot of talent around you which will always make you have a win-win situation. Matured work culture with nice work ambiance to work peacefully. Infosys has an awesome infrastructure in place. Undoubtedly no other company can beat this.

Cons

Competency evaluation is very bad here. No right for one to choose their own career path. Lot scrap is present at the higher levels which has to be cleared up. Every individual should be billed till 20 years... Middle level management is very unstable and thoughtless minting most of the company revenue. Lower cadre employee is screwed left right top and bottom...

Pros

The best reason to work for Infosys is the opportunity of be relocated into onsite locations like US/Europe. Infosys benefits of having a portfolio of some unique clients (this is eroding as clients try to diversify vendor risk). Besides from that, Infosys is long known for no massive layoffs in their 25 years of history. They do have nice campus in India (only). Environment at offshore locations is pretty relaxed, whereas onsite you are basically set with a laptop and a token to work 24/7.

Cons

There seems to be a lack of planning culture (not that they are not good planners), this impacts daily performance of teams. CMMI-People is not leveraged in all IBU's/Projects and its not a priority. Human resources has lots of challenges with an ever-growing company (110k employees as of April 2009), therefore it exists a sense of your position being easily replaced. Given its current maturity as an Enterprise, every day is harder to reach higher career opportunities. Onsite opportunities are defaulted to minimum legal compensation. And the imbalance of benefts is greatly noticed between offshore countries/onsite locations. (i.e. No bonus, no variable pay).

Pros

Overall exposure in domains especially BCM and RETL. External certifications in infosys. The rigorous training they impart in you in Mysore is absolutely world class. Leadership sessions and training programs are very good(Atleast till 2006). Dont know how its today

Cons

No organic growth. The company has become too big to grow all its employees with itself Pay hikes are terrible compared to industry standards. Once u are 2 years in the company you will realise that the lateral who joined recently is getting double of what you get! u get disgusted and resign The C2C of the company is a big joke. If they promise you 50k as gross you would max get 30k in hand. And the variable component of your salary is too high. You get punished for the revenue goof ups that the DM and BD folks do. You have absolutely no touch with the senior bosses. All the good things you do remains only to the manager level but one bad thing gets escalated to the DM. Too much internal politics and you need to dance to your managers' and onsite guys' tune.
