Pros

Most of your coworkers are really cool, fun, and down-to-earth Better culture than closest competitors Exposure to global business model

Cons

The work is not very interesting or impactful Brand isn't very prestigious Firm doesn't seem to have a strategic direction Quality of feedback varies depending on your manager Potential to get "lost and forgotten" on a long-term engagement Indian culture can be off-putting to U.S. natives Management quality varies considerably Not much room for creativity or intellectual stimulation Potentially slow promotion path depending on arbitrary factors

Pros

If you're lucky to get a developing/designing role, then its a fulfilling job. Also, if you're a US hire, you get sent to India for 6(8 months now?) for training. The training is unbelievably simple if your a cs or cpeg major, but the time in India was something you won't get anywhere else. If you're into traveling like I am, it was an amazing time. India is a phenomenal country and the campuses that Infosys has built there are unbelievable. You get to live in India without worrying about power or water outages and you get to see a place on the planet that's so different, but so amazing.

Cons

I've worked here for almost 3 years. I spent 6 months on bench after my return to the US. I was placed on a project where I got to do most of the design and implementation which I really enjoy. That's what I like doing. The problem is that the uniqueness wears off almost immediately. At any Infy function, I feel like an outsider. Even in my office, I have three other infosys co worker's and they always speak Kanada or whatever that language is. When we have events, its a 20 to 1 ratio of Indian to American, but at my client which is not an American company, you would never know. They participate in local events, and they they do local things. They make you feel like you're part of the community. If Infosys wants to be a global competitor, they need to make us feel like we belong. If I'm going to stay here, I want to feel like I'm valued and I don't have that now. It's obviously difficult with 100,00 people, but the company needs to focus on that, if they want to grow. Outsourcing cannot last forever. As the living standards improve and the competition opens offices in India, you need to separate yourselves somehow. You need to offer something that the competition does not, and low billing rates is a temporary answer.

Pros

This place gives alot of opportunity to live the nomadic life within India and outside india which looks like the best thing till the time you are open to travel. it gives you ample opportunity to do new things within a given framework and its and awesome place for people with mediocre intellectual capabilities. No body will move you from your comfort zone and no body will care for you. you are on your own in a university campus environment, where you are payed for playing cricket, exercising your muscles and flirting with women. Its a perfect place for people who are fun loving and not so serious about their work

Cons

some times, you need to work and also show that you work alot by staying up late at office and impressing your managers to get the best grades and still hope that things will be alright, as your manager does not belongs to your regional background. completely bureaucratic organization with a lot of policies and the policies change with effective date of the gone by year. Best termed as slow, non motivational , conservative organization.
