Pros

Good salaries if you know how to sell yourself well to these guys. Work facilities are ok Workload is good life/work balance. Good internal initiatives to keep you active. Good training availabe. (with no computer for you at all)

Cons

Jeez, Where should I start.... Strict with rules, treat you like a convic not an employee Lack of bi-directional comunication it is just one way. Management is Short sighted, not flexible at all. Security politics are overwhelming. Do not provide the appropriate tools to work, as basic as a PC you dont have full access. Traveling is a nightmare, poor engagement and support from HR to travel. No salary increase for the last two yeas even though the CEO said the opposite, no follow up. Projects are mostly run and opperate, production support, routine task based jobs. Projects and life at work gets boring. Poor senior management, no softskills, no problem solvers. Promotions are based on tenure not on Merit. Zero open to negotiate or change something already established. Indian managers believe that they are almighty, most of them are rude, treat you with no respect. Always do everything by the book, you are unable to contribute with ideas to change. Lack of resources to do your job, no internet, no cellphone, no laptop, no vpn unless approved by some almighty Indian lord.

Pros

You really develop Tolerance to Frustration working in an environment like this

Cons

1 - Super Unfriendly employee policies 2 - Performance grading is reevaluated by a commitee and it is based merely on subjective terms (i.e. How your superior likes you) instead of the institutional system. 3 - No raises. Delivery Head will not provide even a single explanation, even though we are constantly evaluated 4 - Career stall. Get ready to remain for years strapped to the same spot, having most varied excuses for not getting moved / promoted / raised salary. 5 - Job not matched to people skills / interests: You got very capable people working on filling up an Excel Spreadsheet for the rest of his career, and have unqualified people doing a poor job that would be fit for the qualified ones. If you ask to be moved, get ready to get frustrated. 6 - Poor middle management. Mostly conformed by unqualified people, there are very few managers who really stand up for their subordinates. Rest of them, they just play along and play dead. 7 - Deliver Head acts like another employee instead of acting like the Head of the Company 8 - All raises are only mediatic. I hear in the news that we got a 10% increase, yet I have seen none (and this applies to all Monterrey & Mexico Campuses) in the past two years. And when we got a 10% increase (2 years ago), that was only made for CRR1+ employees (who give their lives, both professional and personal, for the company). The rest of us, less than 2%. Which is ok, but newspapers say we all got 10%. 8.5 - The CEO likes to be in the newspapers yet it is the most elusive person to be found if you have an issue to be solved within the Company. 9 - Guys in India complain about having to be in office 9:15 hours. Try 9:45 hours daily in Mexico! (minimum). Talk about slave labor (yet, that is Mexican government fault, not only Infosys). So yes, no work / personal life balance. You have to be eternally in the company. We are awake about 16 hours, and we have to be 10 hours at work, plus commuting hours. You are left with less than 3 hours to see your family.

Pros

Competitive salaries, although some might disagree, it depends on each case. Good benefits in general. Excellent working methodologies and very skilled staff.

Cons

No support or poor policies when relocate people to work on site, specially when moving to different countries. Employees have to pay all the expenses and there's a lot of non-friendly fine print policies when you try to get your expenses reimbursed.
