Pros

- People. Some of the people I worked with are high calibre intellectuals with no airs about them. - Team bonding and 3rd Fridays

Cons

- Almost all Partners have their own loyal groups, usually on ethnicity/language lines. You need to have the right mentor in the company - Reverse racism - if you are of south asian descent, it is a huge disadvantage as you are taken for granted. - Some Practice leaders and Partners do not belong at that level. period. Seems the job is a reward for long leal service - Most decisions need to come from Bangalore, so they are taken at a snail's pace - Industry lagging salary. Some years, you don't get any rise at all even if you are top rated

Pros

- Ability to work with marquee clients (think large brand names, such as investment banks in Singapore - Pay structure on par with (touted to be better than) comparable positions across the Big-4, IF you are Caucasian or possess a degree from the more prestigious universities in the West - Occasional networking opportunities - Work-life balance in some projects- though this stems from the fact that most projects are technology delivery ones - Long 'bench' period for (permanent) employees not staffed on projects by any standards. Employees are known to have been paid salaries simply for reporting to work, while being unstaffed on any project, for as many as 13 months - Skewed foreigner-local employee ratio. This is a 'pro' considering that most IT talent originates from India; locals are relegated to admin/staff positions

Cons

- The Asian office (Singapore/HK) is a glorified 'bodyshop'. Most projects do not come anywhere close to the definition of a 'consulting' engagement - As a result, most staff AKA 'consultants' are hired on the basis of their technical experience notwithstanding their deplorable people-management skills. Many come from no-name institutions across the West, which is justifiable in that more talented employees are likely to pass over this firm - Sub-optimal performance levels given that most employees are only in a limbo state awaiting their next gig - As with all tier-2/tier-3 consulting firms, unethical decisions are rife (and celebrated) so long as they translate to higher client revenue - Pay scales, by title/rank, are alleged to be wide. Expect to be paid at the lower end of the scale if you are not Caucasian - Inverted pyramid structure. Overcrowded at Principal/Senior Principal levels with few revenue streams. Unsustainable - The Singapore office thrives solely on a couple of projects in the financial services industry. Clients are able to see through the extent of value-addition promised vis-a-vis romantic expectations set and are scaling down their projects - Minimal opportunities for training and development - Advancement up the career ladder highly political and not meritocratic - The HR's capabilities do not seem to extend beyond hiring/firing candidates. It's no surprise that the firm exudes an image of a staffing firm vis-a-vis a consulting outfit

Pros

Salary Very good Benefits package at affordable price (price varies with rank, lower price for lower rank) Employees get lot of options to choose project Full salary and benefits when on bench

Cons

Most common complaint in Infosys is its bench policy. They will call you after your interview saying that project is waiting for you, but when you join Infosys there will be no project, you will be put on bench, you'll get full salary and benefits (which I cant complain) but you will have to be on your toes like looking for a new job
