Pros

1. Good Campus 2. Good brand image 3. Good media management...even if company gives a 2% hike it makes it to the news.

Cons

At the time i joined there were 7000 employees and It was a good place to work for. Over last 10 years, infosys has gone from bad to worse and in the recent recession it became unbearable. Some of the worst things noticed here are: 1. Bad politics...if you don't have a Godfather, be ready to be screwed. Without a Godfather, there is no recognition of talent anymore when company is >100000 employees 2. Some of the worst policies in the industry. Whats with forcing people to clock 9.15 hrs when they are on bench. 3. Cost cutting to ridiculous extents. Company relocates you to different places in US and then finance dept doesn't want to pay you for lease breakage and other stuff under some pretext or other. 4. Worst Salaries compared to the market 5. No growth for individuals. 6. An environment that instills constant fear in the minds of people specially at US in the name of operation independence and what not. There are so many other bad things that i can write but am ending the review here because i am feeling shameful of myself of having been a part of this organization for 10 painful years and still not able to find a job in the current US market. Please pray for me so that i can move on from this organization asap.
