Pros

Infosys is the most recognized name among the software companies in India. It is also a growing organization and is trying to compete with Accenture and Delloite. So, some of the assignments are of good quality that do involve communicating with the top management. In terms of opportunities, you can easily reach out to anybody within the consulting group for client work. Some of the leaders within the consulting group are great people and you can learn a lot by working with them. Overall, it is a huge organization with opportunities in lot of areas.

Cons

The management policies in Infosys are opaque. Decisions are made and then changed within few days. The decisions defined by the board are considered final even if they are unfair and unpopular. The top management continues to get high bonuses and increments and the lower management continues to suffer. You do not feel that you are part of an organization but just a machine. The work done is primarily around IT and high end consulting work, as done by top firms like Accenture and Deloitte, is not there.

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).
