Pros

Their corporate campuses in India are beautiful and the corporate training at their Global Education Centre in Mysore, India was a good experience. When I got sent back to the US to do actual work, there was no work for me to do, so I ended up collecting five months full-time salary for sitting around my apartment doing nothing.

Cons

Bureaucracy up the wazoo. Salary sucks, and everybody is treated equally regardless of talent. People are assigned to projects not based on talent or employees' wishes, but based on the roll of the dice.

Pros

Legitimate source of gainful project-based tech employment. Handles the headaches of looking for tech work and verifying your talent & legitimacy as a professional in the field, which is especially valuable in the age of AI. Additionally, they offer internal training resources to help ensure your skills are up to date with the current tech landscape.

Cons

Pay can be significantly lower than might be expected for tech work at higher levels, as their business model is as a staffing company, garnishing part of the wage paid by project clients as part of your employment. It's definitely very livable payment in most places, but it doesn't approach senior or even mid-level pay offered by many other US-operating employers in the tech space. This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time. Additionally, work conditions will be set at the behest of clients. Infosys is your pipeline to client projects, not often the host of projects themselves, so working conditions & expectations can vary by client.
