Pros

The only reason is so-called job security. Even that is no longer true with their iRace policy. Infrastructure is good. Apart from that, its the best deal for relatively older laterals. People from top engineering colleges get a higher role (at entry level without any training) than people from other engineering colleges spending 3-4 years with the company.

Cons

Stupid HR policies. They believe in employee policing, enforcing impractical rules etc. You never get recognized even with best appraisals. Regionalism is rampant everywhere from onsite to promotion. They prefer to hire laterals from outside rather than promote their own people internally even if outsiders are not competent enough. A lot depends on your equation with manager rather than the actual work performed. Salary is very low compared to similar jobs elsewhere. A software engineer with 4 years Infosys experience after becoming a senior system engineer post iRace can see an IIT fresher get a higher role. Their PR efforts don't justify the ground realities.

Pros

1) Great infrastructure: They have amazing campus. Lots of greenery and space. They maintain their campus in a top condition. You'll love the campus and the way it is maintained. 2) Good facilities: bus/cab service, parking lot, convention center , ATMs, a Laundromat and many more, big food courts. 3) Systematic and Transparent system. 4) Less workload : Good work life balance.

Cons

1) Too many people: There are just too many people in Infosys. No matter how many facilities Infosys provides to its employees, the facilities don't seem enough. Long lines at food courts, although there are few big food courts, long lines at ATMs although there are around 10 ATMs, long lines at Laundromat, although there are some 40 machines in bangalore center, long waiting for parking lot even though they have multi level parking lot. The list is endless. 2) Too many policies: There are so many policies. Too much control on employees. This again drills down to the huge workforce that infy has. If they don't keep control on employees, then employees start abusing the system. 3) Not so handsome salaries (except the top brass) . 4) Appraisals/Promotions: The process is fair but it's too complicated. 5) More talk, less innovation: I feel they talk too much about innovation, and they just talk. 6) Client centric.

Pros

best infrastructure ; big DCs spread accross several acers though overcrowded if you start as a rookie training period in Mysore or Hyderabad would be memorable .Dont pay deep attention to trainign CGPA .CGPA of 4.00 is enough. If you are LUCKY you would get a very good project and learning experience worth manyfold .

Cons

HR and management can come with a policy in a day including a tag *subjected to change *without a lil concern on its side affect .Policy are meant only to curb employees dream however if required they will go againts the same plocy to achive their targetted goals . C Life sometimes does not comes into affect while claiming projects . Many new recruits end up in Bench for a long period .
