Pros

Great Campus Lots of systems to automate everything (except breathing) Excellent manipulation of media Decent Onsite opps(if you get them that is) Some initiative or the other starts off everyday. Loads of young minds around

Cons

Hopeless salary structure - what you get shown on paper and what comes in your salary account are miles apart. One fish in a huge ocean Zero work-life balance, happens when you have to spend at least 9.5 hrs at office and 4 hrs on up-down travel on a traffic congested road. Zero recognition as a human being, by both HR and the various Service Desks. Ridiculous policies for everything except what matters - basic human respect and dignity. Pathetic appraisal system, now made even worse. Perfect for people who love bureaucracy, sucking up to the bosses, and posterior kissers. Plenty of politics at work too. Managers are more for show than actual work - they seem to just serve up lots of gyaan about what a great place to work Infy is. Onsite pay means that you lose your variable pay - which is about 40% usually. Goals are supposedly objective, but are made up in such a way that you are set up to fail anyway. Zero support when onsite - just take the pay, and get thrown off the deep end as far as support for accomodation, travel etc is concerned. Some or the other scare mail daily - 'Policy Tips', 'X things not to do', 'Complete the survey today', 'Info Security' scare-mails and so on. In fact, people spend at least 20% of their daily effort just reading or deleting such mails.

Pros

The work at infosys with customers is interesting and very satisfying. Assuming you can keep yourself assigned to projects that appropriately align with your areas of expertise and career interests (which can sometimes be a challenge) you will enjoy the work you do for your clients.

Cons

Infosys' expense reimbursement policy is horrific, business travel for the company will cost you money out of pocket and understanding the policy is not going to happen as it is unclear and even when you request clarification from HR you are given different responses. Expenses are regularly reimbursed only partially and when you request the full amount it is rejected without fail regardless of how logical a business reason. The company seems to have no issues asking employees to travel and stay in unsafe hotels and lose money while traveling on the companies behalf. When issues are raised around HR policy (including expenses) they are frequently completely ignored or met with a response such as "It is very difficult to change things here"

Pros

Safety net for the job - Even if you perform miserably, you still can be assured of a place in the company. Mastering the system - You can get better performance review, if you know how to master the appraisal system without putting in real effort. No hardwork required to be in this company. You can just do with a handful of technical terms and google and you can win much in this company. The underlying theme is to know the right people and master the system. But if you do honest work, then you are likely to become a person that will be ignored by the management and the talents and skills that you have acquired in college are likely to be wasted.

Cons

This is a company that has moved away from its technical underpinnings and is increasingly becoming a sweatshop. Poor quality of hires and the huge amount of hires every year has lead to an explosion of population within the company that it has become hard to manage the hires and reward and nurture them properly. If you want to enter this company, the best way to do it is not to enter it as a software engineer but to enter it after you have finished a degree in management so that you can get a position that you will not be stuck in.
