Pros

1) Security. Will never lay off unless you are Mr.Bean

Cons

A lot. 1) Cheap and negligible salary 2) Stupid management 3) Appraisal system is a total disaster 4) No hikes. Hikes are like 1 or even 0.5%. Can buy a coke extra in a month. 5) Lots and lots of policies. Feels like even to cough we need to understand the policy for that. 6) Work culture is very bad. Bend the maximum in front of the client. 7) Absolutely no work life balance. Weekends, night any time you are expected to be available. 8) Dirt cheap salary and big talk. 9) All the profits and percentage stolen by senior management and share holders. 10) Benefits are almost negligible. More often lease breakage itself might not be reimbursed. 11) Main one. Technically you will become zero after 3 years in Infosys. You will be good for nothing here after about 2 years. 12) After about 3 years as a fresher, people are focusing on to become managers and become good for nothing fellows. 13) Biggest waste guys are the managers. They dont know anything other than following up with the team on status. More often they might not even know what the project is about. I know many of them personally who are good for nothing. 14) CRR system of appraisal is the worst and stupidest in the industry. There is absolutely negligible monetory difference between the best performing and worst performing employee. May be a maximum of 10$ a month.(Not even that I believe) 15) Only media hype is there. Everything that say in the media is a lie. their attrition rate is much much higher than they shared in the media. 16) Many of the projects are total crap. Summary: You are loosing your career joining Infosys. Take their shares instead. This company only loves their share holders and nothing else.

Pros

The co workers were nice.

Cons

Low salary Terrible company politics Made fake promises around h1b filing but had to get exceptions and so much follow up and stuff to get it approved. Most managers dont give a s**** about your well being at all and they dont take your side when you are working with clients. If your client is miserable then your life is also miserable. The HR is also useless and incompetent for the most part. You cant even get screens and other equipments for your work. You need to go through ten rounds of some dumb approvals and what not and then even after that its not guaranteed. All the benefits I got were because I had good relations with my manager but this shouldnt be the case. Every employee should be treated equally.
