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 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.
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.
Lesser bond period is another advantage.
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.

Hi Chintan!

do u hav any idea bout wot percentage of people frm ECE background clear te training?? do tey fare well in te tests r keep complaining bout te toughness of te training?

@Prashu...
no, that change is not confirmed yet...
The % of people clearing training from this branch or that branch doesnt matter...
There are people from mech scoring 5.0 throughout training and people from CS-IT who dont clear training.

How much is the bond amount in infy if we quit 3-4 months after training?
October 8, 2009 10:27 AM
@Cijo...
LOL... You can just fail in training and avoid paying any bond amount. Infact you will be paid extra 1 month's salary if you do it like that plus leave encashment for leaves that you didnt take.
