Pros

Excellent training for Non Computer Science people. 4 months especially in Mysore will be one of the best 4 months of your life. It has a good campus culture and excellent work atmosphere. Excellent facilities like fitness center, swimming pool on campus.

Cons

Overcrowded. The company is hiring in thousands and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Long bench periods (They seem good in the first few days, but can be frustrating for longer durations). Since they are hiring a lot, co-worker competence has gone down drastically. After training in one particular technology, they may put you to work in a completely different technology.

Pros

Infosys' brand recognition and might provide a good deal an edge in the industry. The client base is to die for (if you get to work on one, that is). There's a great camaraderie among peer groups, they tend to help each other whenever they can. Knowledge sharing within groups is excellent and the knowledge sites/locations carry good amount of reading study materials. Internal trainings (and the external arranged ones) are really good. All the campus are extremely well maintained which attracts lot many people. Canteen and foods are decent enough. For people on bench, there are avenues to indulge in like well stocked libraries, cultural shows , excercise areas, sports events.

Cons

Compensation packages are very poor compared to peers in the industry. There are no clear growth plans or career opportunities. Once candidate is Interviewed and selected, may be put into any business unit irrespective of the past experience (happped with me, 10 yrs exp). Some of the project / units are very top heavy hence very difficult to move up the ladder - its easier to move lateraly. If we want to change to another business unit, there are no clear process around the same, one has to rely on old contacts. At times, it feels Infosys has become an elephant of a company and moves very slowly where decision making is concerned.

Pros

You work alongside some of the best people. Infosys is very particular about hiring the best people and this ensures that the best minds are at work here. Lots of opportunities to learn and grow. You can learn about new technology and work on anything that excites you. You can always speak your mind fearlessly. The management makes a lot of effort to communicate with everyone. They take a lot of pains to communicate the policies clearly. A very open-door culture where hierarchy is almost absent. You get to discuss and decide where you want to go. A well respected company in India and saying you work for Infosys always makes people think you are bright :)

Cons

Strict and rigid policies. The offices in most Infosys development centres are very far from the city, so you must be ready for a long commute. If you are keen on work-life balance, then Infosys is not the place for you. Depending on the project you work on, your work-life balance can tip either way. No work from home facility. Women employees find it difficult to cope. The work timings are 9 hours and 15 minutes everyday and your work time is strictly monitored. Add the commute time to that and you could be spending anywhere between 12 to 14 hours away from home. From being a very employee friendly company this company has now slipped to being a very difficult to work for employer. It's a huge company and so associated red-tape and other problems.
