Pros

ok if you want to get your foot in the door for a tech job, and an ok option if you are a foreigner looking for visa based work. There are pipelines for different career paths in the company.

Cons

Bad if you sign a two year contract with a tens of thousands of dollars in retainer. Company is very unorganized, and often softly threatens employees for issues arising from their employee web applications malfunctioning, which happens very very often. Raises are also dependent on how many courses you complete on their education portal but it is unclear how those courses are accepted or count towards your raise. They pay 1/2 the average rate for their SDEs, but expect you to be open to work with offshore employees at any time of the day or night, and move to any city at any time to work for a client.

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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.
