Pros

Its very process oriented. The value system is something which is worth admiring. The training facility and system is at par if not the best among the top blue chip firms. They do some really good work in particular domains. Though it is difficult to get into good projects, but once into a good project, there is no looking back. The processes followed in different practices makes one realize the value of quality of work. In terms of fairness of opportunities in terms of appraisals and other ancillary items, it gets a fair share of appreciation. Overall a decent place to work for.

Cons

Due its bulk recruiting processes, its very difficult to get noticed at the workplace!!! The process is marred by favouritism in terms of projects and onsite opportunities. Performance is not as important as the number of years you have worked in the company. There are some really incompetent people working at key posts ( Which i believe is a case with every big firm). At times the policies could be a deterrent to performing well at work. If you expect challenges everyday at work, then INfy is certeinly not the place for you. Opportunities for growth in a short time are very much limited.
