Pros

1. Excellent 3.5 month training at the stat-of-the-art Infosys Mysore campus 2. If you are a fresher, point 1 should alone suffice to work for Infy 3. Excellent colleagues, & several technical training programs

Cons

1. Infy , especially at the fresher level, as a result of it amazing brand equity, & what i call "mindshare" among individuals & the medial, does not pay very well....rather can afford to, pay freshers that not well. 2. But to all freshers out there, i would strongly encourage you, to join Infosys, especially if you want to do an MBA later(it looks gr8 on your resume)

Pros

Excellent systematic training in technology and processes. Several months of training with full pay and without any kind of bond for freshers. Had a good rapport with immediate managers.Average age is less. so youthful atmosphere. Excellent place for freshers.

Cons

Has become bureaucratic. HR frames rules without considering ground realities. Has a mandatory 9.5hrs/day irrespective of whether you have work or not or whether u had worked 12/13 hrs per day in the previous project. Earlier there was no such rule. everything including compensatory off , work life balance depends on clients. Earlier promotion was from developer, analyst and project manager. Now has several layers inserted so everyone can be promoted without having any change in the kind of job being done. very little chance for people expecting technical expertise since only managerial roles are available for experienced people.

Pros

They pay you full salary while on the bench up to probably over a year. They don't fire or lay off people. Constantly hiring. Easy way to start off a career.

Cons

No career advancement. First promotion takes 4 years and that's almost nothing. It takes 8 years to become Project Manager. No choices or preferences for locations, industries, or work. No bonuses or personal incentives. Incompetent HR and poor policies. Retention rate for US hires is less than 1 year. Basically, you have no future if you are not Indian.
