Pros

Chance to work for a world-class company with an international feel and professional outlook Once you have a work visa, you have good onsite opportunities One of the few Indian companies to provide good transportation and fitness facilities and other infrastructure and support personnel. At least in my case good teamwork and ethics

Cons

Promotion policies/salary hikes are vague and deceptive. It seems they want to pay off shareholders first and then think about employees I don't know why they tout ILI - it has not produced any visible leaders or tangible improvement in leadership especially PMs For a company that touts low acceptance rate, quality of new joiners and laterals is poor... Zero flexibility in career choice and career progression. Infosys processes is a sham and quality metrics are doctored.
