Pros

Free Coffee, Free Internet access, Less security to take client's confidential data home(to personal laptop)

Cons

## At Infosys there is no value to performance. The company brags that performance is cherished there but that's not the truth. No matter how the trainees perform in their supposedly "world-famous" training, at the time of posting they are thrown here and there, randomly. ## It is strongly believed that capability can be had from experience alone and that experience comes by age ONLY. A fresher who is more talented than any of the 'experienced' professionals in the project, are despised of. ## Managers find it very convenient to get the work one from the same employee who has been doing it, no matter with what quality, since a long time. This creates dependency on that employee and deprives others of such a responsibility and opportunity. ## There is NO quality in the work. Only documents. The actual work delivered is worse than what 10+2 passouts would do. A lot to write about the company policies too. The list is neverending....

Pros

Infosys is a one of the good places to work but not the best to be! As an employee for your individual growth plan are much accomplished. You have good lot of talent around you which will always make you have a win-win situation. Matured work culture with nice work ambiance to work peacefully. Infosys has an awesome infrastructure in place. Undoubtedly no other company can beat this.

Cons

Competency evaluation is very bad here. No right for one to choose their own career path. Lot scrap is present at the higher levels which has to be cleared up. Every individual should be billed till 20 years... Middle level management is very unstable and thoughtless minting most of the company revenue. Lower cadre employee is screwed left right top and bottom...

Pros

The best reason to work for Infosys is the opportunity of be relocated into onsite locations like US/Europe. Infosys benefits of having a portfolio of some unique clients (this is eroding as clients try to diversify vendor risk). Besides from that, Infosys is long known for no massive layoffs in their 25 years of history. They do have nice campus in India (only). Environment at offshore locations is pretty relaxed, whereas onsite you are basically set with a laptop and a token to work 24/7.

Cons

There seems to be a lack of planning culture (not that they are not good planners), this impacts daily performance of teams. CMMI-People is not leveraged in all IBU's/Projects and its not a priority. Human resources has lots of challenges with an ever-growing company (110k employees as of April 2009), therefore it exists a sense of your position being easily replaced. Given its current maturity as an Enterprise, every day is harder to reach higher career opportunities. Onsite opportunities are defaulted to minimum legal compensation. And the imbalance of benefts is greatly noticed between offshore countries/onsite locations. (i.e. No bonus, no variable pay).
