Pros

My opinion - Great Knowledge management, ultra cool process driven environment for almost anything(downsides also), major emphasis on people skills, strong on quality work, best in the world infrastructure and facilities, global policy behavior which helps every employee to get benefits based on business performance (major downsides also- my frustration points later). Company follows most of it's values defined by C-LIFE [C]ustomer [L]eadership pursuit of [E]xcellence except the [F]airness and [I]ntegrity and transparency.

Cons

Poor in innovation, just don't want to file patents for saving costs, even though large number of employees come up with innovative patent application (like me, did not get an acknowledgment forget about filing even 12 months after sending patent application). People are reluctant to share good ideas, important information unless they are sure that it will bring great rewards, just kills innovation. Fails in transparency too, important decisions which affects other employees are directly taken by management without any involvement of the employees. Employees major frustrations are over onsite opportunities which are totally based on luck and relationship with manager and not all on go to onsite because of their skills. Other frustrations are over salary benefits and appraisals at all levels because those who perform well do not get their fair share of due to global policy behavior, kills Fairness. Large size is making the company bureaucratic.

Pros

-The brand name -Leaves are easily granted -excellent "work area"<I did not say "work environment">. The Infosys campuses are always beautifully landscaped and clean. Each time I used to look at the incredible architectural wonders, I would tell myself if the same money was invested in the "rewards and recognition programme", it would make Infosys a better place.. -Working mothers/wives are treated with an easy hand -All policies in place in case of any harassment -Efficient n helpful finance deptt<no problems in PF/PPF?Gratuity refunds>

Cons

This review is only meant to be a way of helping my former employer get even better at the job that it is doing. I have no ill-will, only mean to help.. -incompetent low-level managers (do not trust their employees;they are really technical people who just go through a few training sessions to learn management. Evidently the sessions are inadequate) -lack of mobolity across departments/geographical locations <I once asked my manager for a transfer to another location, she said that her manager had told her that no transfers were possible, even if it meant that the employee would decide to leave the company if not transferred> - variation in onsite opportunities according to the business unit. Those of us who are unfortunate to have landed in the wrong department, feel cheated when other employees (mostly no better than myself) go abroad. -inadequate rewards and recognition <I was given the Annual "Spot Award". I was the youngest member from many teams to get it. The award-> "a shoulder bag">. The best performing software engineers get this annual award for "Excellence "(considered better than the Spot Award). They get INR 1000/- only (taking 1 USD=INR 50, it translates into USD 20) -very few leaves <only 15 earned leaves per annum>

Pros

--Very good Infrastructure and facilities at work place --Training and learning opportunities --Esteem Client base --A good platform for meeting lot of people in same place.. may be good for networking and all

Cons

-- Irritating amount of dirty politics and mobbing -- Low pay.. -- Senior management dont care about dirty things in lower and middle level .. (May be one day this will result in fall of the company) -- Recogni is based on favourism / gender ?/ politics.. also work allocation, Promotions everything is politics based ..BUT VERY WELL JUSTIFIED BY BEAUTIFULLY COINED WORDS. If you questions it..then they are smart enough to prove you as a STUPID resource -- Somehow company managed ppl (including employees) to believe infosys is great.. Employees who stay there for long time realise what mistake they did.
