Pros

1. Very strong value system that is closely governed by senior management 2. Good work culture 3. Well defined internal processes; bureaucracy is non-existent 4. Some policies are upfront, well defined and transparent to employees (caution: not all)

Cons

1. It's growing at a very fast rate; so big that it is getting unmanageable 2. Career planning and the companies support to meet ones goal is almost non-existent 3. Most people end up working on a technology or business area that a person is not interested to work in. This goes back to #2, unaligned to career path/meeting goals. 4. The bi-annual appraisal system is a facade - its an extremely time consuming exercise whose benefit is rarely realized.

Pros

Infosys is a global company, and is one of the companies featured in Tom Friedman's popular book "The World is Flat." Working here, there is a high likelihood that you will work on a global team with people around the world (especially India). For some employees, there are also opportunities to go to visit some of the Indian campuses for training (such as Bangalore or Mysore). The fact that you are working for a "flat world" company based in India might have some cachet with some people. If you work here, the best way to get things done is to be persistent and raise a stink if you have to.

Cons

Infosys is an extremely India-centric company, in pretty much every aspect there is. The way the company operates both organizationally and culturally is an Indian approach to business, and for citizens working in the United States this can be extremely frustrating, chaotic, and stressful at times. There is a minimal support structure in the United States, so if you have problems it is very difficult to find someone over here to help you - you often must contact someone in India. All of this results in a highly dysfunctional company that just doesn't operate on the same level that American companies do. The company has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and this too has brought many problems. First of all, it is harder to move up in the company, and if you're recruited on a low level in the United States, it is very difficult to move up (perhaps impossible) since most managers are based in India. Second of all, many of the new employees they have are just not very high quality, and also have taken away from the quality of work that the company does. Oh, and diversity? Almost everyone who works here is Indian. Not Indian as in Indian-American, but Indian as in they just came here from India. This can also create a lot of tension at times, especially when you are the only American in the entire office. When things go wrong (which is not a rare occurrence) there are always communication problems, and managers will often hide behind policy with no sympathy when an employee is put in a bad situation. In addition, the HR recruiters in this country often have little knowledge about the positions that they are interviewing for (especially for campus hires). Because of this, the role you end up filling may end up being drastically different than the one that was described in the job interview. Be careful.

Liars and unethical

Pros

Clients are great and you get to meet incredible people from around the world. In the right role, lots of international travel opportunities.

Cons

Liars and abuse visas. Continually try to replace US citizens and bring in Indians at 60% less wages. Abuse visas. Tells clients that employees have special skills when they dont. I was there 12 yrs and keep being put at clients to fix problems caused by on shore Indians. This is not against the Indian workers who did the best they could and worked hard. They just didn't have the skills. Now I work for a company and when outsourcing is discussed or bringing in contractors for a specific project, Infosys is not considered. Management are liars. Abuse low level staff. If you are American, you will not be promoted and they look for reasons to terminate you after you unknowingly train your indian replacement who comes to the US at a much lower salary.
