Pros

This company does give you the chance to work for various businesses throughout the country if you so desire. They also give you the opportunity to move yourself around in the company to different projects by simply reaching out to other client managers, giving you the opportunity to find your place in your field of expertise. Really when it comes to the pros of this company, is based on your personal preferences. If you like or desire to work for a company for years, moving up the corporate bracket based on the time you work their, this is for you. If you like working excessive numbers of hours focusing your life only on work, this is for you. If you enjoy not being tied down working for various different companies as a contractor, this is for you. Other than that there really isn't many other pros for this company, they have decent policies and benefits, they pay most to all relocations costs if they are needed, and they desire you to learn and be the best you can be.

Cons

You work as a contractor that gets underpaid and underappreciated especially for the amount of work you do by both the company you are contracted by and Infosys themselves. There is also the flip side, sometimes you get paid to do basically nothing feeling very unproductive and a waste of your developing skills, its a role of the dice in many ways for what position you will end up obtaining and what you will end up doing. This company is from India, the issue isn't where they are from, it is their work ethics/values that they encourage or rather expect (require) you to fulfil; They don't out right say it as it is illegal, but they encourage you to do work off the clock for no compensation. Basically if there's work to be done then they expect you to take every waking moment to accomplish it. It doesn't matter how hard or well you work for them, it really only matters how long you have worked for them, you are not rewarded for your success or skills. Any accomplishments you make can give you recognition and can help you move up in their corporate ladder a little bit faster, but more than likely anything you do will not. Your accomplishments really just help the management above you get raises especially for your efforts on outstanding desired projects by the client. If I was to give a percentage of what Infosys really cares about, I would give 50% to the bottom line ($), 49% to what their clients think of them and their contractors, 1% to their employees.

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.
