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

Pros

If you're in Consulting it is a bit alright as you might get to travel a fair bit within the US and Europe. Possible even India. If you're working in India, the company has sprawling campuses for employees to work in. The campuses have a wide range of facilities from gyms to squash courts and even a cricket pitch in some places.

Cons

When you join as a software engineer you are worked way too hard and not paid any overtime benefits either. On the other hand you could be placed on 'bench' i.e a reserve resource for the company and do nothing with your time. This can get very frustrating as i have personally been on bench for a while and trying to get my managers to give me some work to do but in vain. Now i understand that some people might be thinking this would be the ideal job of getting paid and not doing much work but trust me, you dont want to be sitting out there at the start of your career and wasting time away waiting to be given work!

Pros

Infosys training program for freshers is one of the best in Industry. To start your career its the best place in India. Infosys has a tremendous brand value. People see you with respect if you are working in Infosys.

Cons

Oh...It's crowded like hell. We have a great campus with almost all the facility but all these facilities for employees become worse because of the population. Can you imagine? One swimming pool, 8 billiards tables for around 20000 employees. They pay in pennies here in India. And because of hell number of people, for single opportunity in company there will be queue of people.
