Pros

1) Not many. One of the main reasons has to be the fact that you can unleash your career outside India. This happens to be the most important reason to why Infosys successfully retains a major chunk of its strength. 2) Paradise for lazy people. At any time 30% on any given floor at Infosys are idle at work. It gives them enough time and less stress.

Cons

1) You have no control of your career growth - your options are always limited. You could be an awesome programmer but you might just end up being a really bad manager - not because you choose to be one, but because Infosys chooses that path for you. 2) You will end up working with a bunch of idiots (in other words, people who can't speak proper english and have been recruited from the worst possible colleges of India and those who have absolutely no passion what so ever for their job). Your chances are about more than 30% for this scenario.

Pros

Stock Options worked out to be really good. The campus is as good as it can get. The pool tables, ping pong tables and other out door equipment is always well maintained. The gym is state of the art.

Cons

Long working hours. Mediocrity of employees. Most of the managers are not cut out to be managers. No freedom in pursuing professional/personal goals.

Pros

Safety net for the job - Even if you perform miserably, you still can be assured of a place in the company. Mastering the system - You can get better performance review, if you know how to master the appraisal system without putting in real effort. No hardwork required to be in this company. You can just do with a handful of technical terms and google and you can win much in this company. The underlying theme is to know the right people and master the system. But if you do honest work, then you are likely to become a person that will be ignored by the management and the talents and skills that you have acquired in college are likely to be wasted.

Cons

This is a company that has moved away from its technical underpinnings and is increasingly becoming a sweatshop. Poor quality of hires and the huge amount of hires every year has lead to an explosion of population within the company that it has become hard to manage the hires and reward and nurture them properly. If you want to enter this company, the best way to do it is not to enter it as a software engineer but to enter it after you have finished a degree in management so that you can get a position that you will not be stuck in.
