Pros

The training is the best part of my staying in Infosys. They paid your hotel stay, food and travel expense. Also, they will pay you while you are on bench.

Cons

They don't care about the employee's career interest at all. Infosys is a service base company, that means their client is always the priority, which I understand. However, what I couldn't understand is why they completely ignore employees' career interests. Infosys is assigning employee to a project BASE ON LOCATION! This is ridiculous. I was one of the strongest programmer on my training batch. I received highest average grade on exams and the final project. My hard-working and my programming ability should be properly rewarded with a development project. Unfortunately this is not how Infosys works. They assign the project BASE ON LOCATION! They placed incompetent people into Apple and Verizon for development, and placed me, a strong programmer into a supportive role just because I was not living nearby their clients! This is absurd. I told them I do not like the project, but they completely neglected my strong refusal as well as not evaluated my coding ability, as result I was forced to do repetitive, mundane tasks every day. I was lucky to land another engineer job after been here for about a month. Let's be honest, Infosys is not a great place to start your career. What one can get out of it really varies for each person. There are people been placed into BIG Names for development projects, but there are also people like me, despite performed excellently during the training, still been forced into a tedious project. If you are a fresher, there is the potential of been stuck into a supportive role for years, and when you eventually decide to get out, you have zero engineering experience while your classmates have already became senior software engineers. Think again before joining them as a fresher.

Pros

Some employees are genuinely hardworking and dedicated, while others seem to get by primarily on their networking and communication skills rather than the quality of their work. Career growth often appears to depend more on office politics than on performance. If you're good at building the right relationships and navigating internal politics, you'll likely do well here.

Cons

If you're not someone who focuses on pleasing the right people, don't expect a healthy work-life balance, meaningful pay hikes, or fair promotion opportunities. Recognition and career growth often seem to depend more on favoritism than on performance.
