For the love of god just get into any product shop, take eLitmus or AMCAT & leave BigIT. There's every less to learn, high restrictions on taking up choice assignments & so many more reasons. You can read up so many answers from Quora.
I am a US citizen just graduating from a college, I haven't been in big IT yet. I'm just starting out with computer science.
I have a technical interview with this company next week. Anyone want to fill me in on the good the bad and the ugly of being a programmer at a company like Infosys?
I highly recommend you NOT to join this company as a programmer because you'd have no growth and also, they pay you peanuts and earn millions. They treat you like shit. You'll be just another fish in the sea. The only good thing about joining this company is good work-life balance as there is no much work for you to do.

> no growth
I've known people grow within Infosys just like any other big company
> they pay you peanuts and earn millions
Not sure which offices you are referring to - India or US. In India at least, they are at par with peers engaged in the same Services model.
> They treat you like shit
Subjective. Depending on what you expected and what you got in return.
> You'll be just another fish in the sea.
This I agree. But, that's just like any other big corporate company unless you know how to navigate your way out in the maze.
> no much work for you to do
Again subjective. I have come across people who complain of too much work.
The better alternative will be to join a product company if the OP has an option, rather than a services company, as other comments suggest. Any Services company operates predominantly on a head count / person hours model as against a product company or a product based start up which have completely different dynamics.

I find it weird when people curse Indian IT companies which were once their employers. Is it not true that once upon a time you were only fit to join them because no one else would have employed you.
Not only do these Big IT companies hire in mass, they also spend insane amounts of money and time training students who come out of college without exposure to real work.
Yeah they pay peanuts and yes you would be just a face in the crowd. But they likely give you the biggest break of your life.
People need to show some gratitude.

Infosys is making money by selling software engineers, not software to USA/EU :(

Either work for a company building their product or consult with someone to build them their product. Don't work for a company that consults for someone to build their product.
That can get boring in the long run.
>> or consult with someone to build them their product
So freelancing? Hard to get interesting projects that way. Also, you'll have to travel, won't have colleagues and need to do sales.
>> Don't work for a company that consults for someone to build their product.
It can be alright if you're in the high-end, boutique consultancy market. New challenging project every x months, like-minded colleagues, fast skill growth.
But yeah, avoid the body-shops like the plague.
