Pros

Infosys as a company is one of the most respected company in India. Working with Infy has created a brand value for me. Also it has helped me gain international exposure in terms of experience and handling of professional clients. It has helped me develop the insight to various challenges which the IT industry of Developed world country face today. It has expanded my horizons of thinking and instilled an approach within me to handle micro as well as macro level problems and issues.

Cons

Infosys has had an non-linear growth in terms of resources. In my opinion, infy is struggling majorly with people management. The middle layer functioning proves to be a threat to make a professional company look like a government bureaucratic company. Management still believes in seniority, and does not value performance and capability above seniority. The compensation is not upto standards of the IT industry in developed countries. There is no guideline from senior management asto where the company is heading. It feels as if the transperancy for which the company was proud about at one point of time is lost now. The freedom for people to work in their area of intrest is very very limited. Resources are forced to work against their will because of lack of support and opportunities from their management. The middle managers are completely theoritical and process oriented. Infy has made up so many processes that managers are unable to think beyond the box - out of those outlined processes. Processes eat away most of the time with no real value gained. It feels like a employee is completely detached from its management. Also the quality of resources has degraded drastically. Proper allocation of resources is not managed....

Pros

1) Training for freshers is truly good and provides one with a very good exposure to face the industry and excel in it. 2) Some of the projects provide more opportunities in terms of technology, exposure to clients, onsite opportunities. 3) The physical environment (gardens, gyms, facilities etc.) is awesome. They have one of the best-maintained campuses. 4) There would be a lot of cultural diversity since people from all parts of India, world work together. 5) Health care policy covers spouse, children and dependant parents. They have tie-up with good hospitals in all major cities/towns

Cons

1) Work culture highly dependent on the Business Unit (BU), Project that one works in. It can range from truly delightful to downright awful. 2) One has to be lucky to get into a good project because projects are assigned on random basis more often than not. 3) Since the company is listed in the stock markets, managers tend to work towards a set financial target. Hence, the employee aspirations might be compromised. E.g. it will be very difficult to get leave when they are struggling to meet the target 4) Opportunities highly specific to BU. For e.g some BUs have a lot of onsite opportunities while others have almost nil. 5) Work diversity i.e. getting to work on different domains, technologies might not be that easy. Once an employee has worked on a certain thing, managers hesitate to put them on other fields 6) One can say, the stockholders come first and then the employees. 7) Salary package not very good. An optimist can refer to it as decent. Pay is certainly less than one expects. 8) Appraisal process has some flaws because of large number of employees. Someone who might/might not know you, based on your Project Manager’s recommendation decides the salary hike. Luck comes into play here
