Pros

Overall exposure in domains especially BCM and RETL. External certifications in infosys. The rigorous training they impart in you in Mysore is absolutely world class. Leadership sessions and training programs are very good(Atleast till 2006). Dont know how its today

Cons

No organic growth. The company has become too big to grow all its employees with itself Pay hikes are terrible compared to industry standards. Once u are 2 years in the company you will realise that the lateral who joined recently is getting double of what you get! u get disgusted and resign The C2C of the company is a big joke. If they promise you 50k as gross you would max get 30k in hand. And the variable component of your salary is too high. You get punished for the revenue goof ups that the DM and BD folks do. You have absolutely no touch with the senior bosses. All the good things you do remains only to the manager level but one bad thing gets escalated to the DM. Too much internal politics and you need to dance to your managers' and onsite guys' tune.
