Pros

There has been a surge of employees filing lawsuits against the company in recent years. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Cons

* Infosys promotes modern-day slavery | Employees are owned by the company. They are forced to relocate wherever the company demands at will. Their contracts with clients can - and regularly are - terminated at will, providing a loophole through 'employment at will regulations'. Employees are used to fill annual client budgets, and are dropped when budgets are exceeded. * Infosys has no regard for "employee rights" | Employees are cogs in their highly-inefficient and overly-bureaucratized machine. Employees are penalized by having vacation days removed, are demoted in retaliation for speaking out against the company, and are threatened with being fired if they are not willing to accept certain assignments that are forced on them. Infosys preys on the inexperienced | It is partnered with a "talent acquisition" company that brings in "batches" of predominantly new college graduates to give them basic exposure to skills which Infosys (often wrongly) believes are currently in demand in the job market, then the company sells individuals from these "batches" to Infosys under a 2-year contract promising that they will work with the client under the duration of this period. If the employee does not fulfill the contract, neither Infosys nor their dummy company can be held responsible, and the individual is required to pay the client 20,000 USD for breach of contract. Infosys is very ethnocentric | Infosys employees have no interest in adapting to the cultures of the countries in which they are working. If an employee does not fit their manner of working, they will simply find ways to have the employee removed from the team

Pros

Infosys paid fully for my 3 months intensive full stack software engineering bootcamp. Can't name any other pros as I was on the bench for a whole year doing absolutely nothing other than reskilling myself voluntarily. Oh actually, there is pool table in the main office in London. Became quite a decent pool player by the end of my career at Infosys. On some days I basically just went in to play pool. Some heated games we had! Good memories.

Cons

Zero exposure to projects. My managers changed quite a few times as well whilst I was there without me even knowing about this or meeting them ever. Terrible communication between managers and employees. Good place for someone who likes to do zero work but still get paid fully. You don't even have to go in. Though it doesn't look too great on your resume doing nothing for an entire year so I left as soon as my contract allowed me to do so (had to be there for a year at least because of the paid bootcamp). I desperately tried to get on projects for a good 9 months but then gave up and barely even logged in anymore but no one even noticed. Oh, when you are on the bench they sometimes make you do some ridiculous "accelerate" tasks but most if it is just busy work that helps you nothing in making you more employable.
