Pros

> Leadership from top management > Importance to values & ethics by top management > Ability to utilize the collective Knowledge within Infosys > Various types of opportunities which you can get if you are lucky

Cons

> Crappy middle management(2nd tier/3rd tier) - not aligned with the visions of top management(Board) > HR policies are primarily top-down & has lot of loop holes when it comes to salary issues. After every review, there will be one set of people losing out because of the top down approach. > HR & Finance is handled by single person & has led to company primarily focusing on quarterly results, margin & other financial metrics > No employee can know whether his/her salary is correct or not > No flexibility for employees to chose the kind of work they want to do > Onsite employees are made to slog at odd hours - no work-life balance & no good compensation for people slogging > No real contribution to IT community. Only consumption of good work from open source & other IT communities.

Pros

My overall impression of the company is positive. The compensation and benefits seem fair and supportive, and the company appears to offer good career growth opportunities for employees who want to learn and advance. In terms of culture and values, it comes across as a professional, respectful, and collaborative environment where people are encouraged to contribute and develop.

Cons

I did not notice any major concerns, but like any large organization, there is always room to further improve internal communication and clarity around career advancement.
