Pros

Infosys consulting is not your typical management consulting firm. Its pretty young compared to the other big 4 firms out there, and its been running as a fluid organization for a while. In an organization thats still young and small - theres always an opportunity to make your mark. The organization untill last year has been pretty flat, so there are a lot of chances for folks to be heard, and influence progress. Infosys really tries to hire the best of breed consultants - MBAs from top colleges or individuals who have specific domain or industry experience. This really raises the caliber of people that you work and what you can expect from your colleagues. I've noticed that the people are a lot more down to earth, informal, witty and not your typical consulting douche-bags (with the express look and the 'I'm better than you' attitude') - you can definately expect your peers and management to be more 'human'. I've recieved some phenomenal coaching from my senior management along my career at infosys. I really believe my senior management has my back when it comes to my career.

Cons

Work life balance - like all consulting firms, you can expect to work the 20-80+ hours weeks - thats why they pay you the big bucks. Compensation and benefits are not as competitive to other management consulting firms (BCG, McKinsey), but supposedly more competitive than TCS and Wipro. Leadership communication around compensation has been historically poor but this is being addressed. There are still some integration issues between the consulting unit and the parent company. Don't expect to get a lot of training when you come into this firm. Don't expect to get your much of your target bonus either. Lots of operational issues that affect consultants (I would categorize this as growing pains for a company that is growing at a phenomenal rate).

Pros

Infosys' brand recognition and might provide a good deal an edge in the industry. The client base is to die for (if you get to work on one, that is). There's a great camaraderie among peer groups, they tend to help each other whenever they can. Knowledge sharing within groups is excellent and the knowledge sites/locations carry good amount of reading study materials. Internal trainings (and the external arranged ones) are really good. All the campus are extremely well maintained which attracts lot many people. Canteen and foods are decent enough. For people on bench, there are avenues to indulge in like well stocked libraries, cultural shows , excercise areas, sports events.

Cons

Compensation packages are very poor compared to peers in the industry. There are no clear growth plans or career opportunities. Once candidate is Interviewed and selected, may be put into any business unit irrespective of the past experience (happped with me, 10 yrs exp). Some of the project / units are very top heavy hence very difficult to move up the ladder - its easier to move lateraly. If we want to change to another business unit, there are no clear process around the same, one has to rely on old contacts. At times, it feels Infosys has become an elephant of a company and moves very slowly where decision making is concerned.

Pros

There is no good reason to work for this company, Infy is interested in only their profit they r not concerned with their bottom line employee...

Cons

Your personal life is destroyed. No appreciation for good work. Promotion for only those who lick the feet of managers.
