For Everything on Infosys

And now, a few things to be happy about being an Infoscion.

There is no doubt that no company can match the training of Infosys in India. Not even IBM. IBM freshers have to manage for their own accommodation even! TCS, Wipro, L&T Infotech etc may have the same recognition in the IT industry but in my opinion, there is no company which matches Infosys' investment in training.



The brand "Infosys" is so strong that it landed me a well paying new job even in such bad times for the industry. I wouldnt have been able to get such a job if I was sacked from some unknown SME.

MNCs offer higher starting salary than smaller companies. The salary offered by Infosys, TCS etc to freshers can only be reached after atleast 1 yr at smaller companies.

MNCs offer more facilities and incentives than SMEs. For example, my current company Elan doesnt have a providend fund which is highly beneficial for employees. Gym, multiplex and all is a distant dream.


Higher Education Support. Infosys has a looong list of MBA programs that it sponsors at IIMs and other major B-Schools. The list has been recently revised to include almost all the well-known courses offered by reputed B-Schools. This is not an option with Elan officially but as i said earlier, the management is flexible and can work out some deal with you.


Lesser bond period is another advantage. At Elan, I have a bond of 2 years, 50k which is 1 yr, 50k at Infosys. But the advantage at Infosys is that they would only come chasing you, asking for bond money if you join some rival company. If you leave the company (read run away from the company) for higher studies, then they dont ask you to pay the bond amount.

This is as much as i could gather. You are welcome to add your own point in comments. If it is good enough, i will include it in the post.


And ya, I have just reached Gandhinagar. New job starts from tomorrow. We have a house here which usually is unoccupied and we come here in vacation. Now i will be staying here and would go to Ahmedabad daily for job. Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar is about 25 kms and it takes only about an hour to reach my company from home.
