Pros

If you're in Consulting it is a bit alright as you might get to travel a fair bit within the US and Europe. Possible even India. If you're working in India, the company has sprawling campuses for employees to work in. The campuses have a wide range of facilities from gyms to squash courts and even a cricket pitch in some places.

Cons

When you join as a software engineer you are worked way too hard and not paid any overtime benefits either. On the other hand you could be placed on 'bench' i.e a reserve resource for the company and do nothing with your time. This can get very frustrating as i have personally been on bench for a while and trying to get my managers to give me some work to do but in vain. Now i understand that some people might be thinking this would be the ideal job of getting paid and not doing much work but trust me, you dont want to be sitting out there at the start of your career and wasting time away waiting to be given work!

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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