Pros

There are no pros about working for Infosys.

Cons

It is exceptionally difficult to make any kind of career advancement within this company. The compensation and benefits are below average. If you are on a salary (which is most employees), you can't receive overtime pay, which allows employers to work you as much as they want without Infosys being required to pay you. The culture is based on saving face - statistics are skewed to give clients the impression that Infosys is doing more than it really is, and the company will readily throw its own employees under the bus to try to appease their clients. Management are barely more than puppets for their clients. The company threatens employees with termination to force them to move to new work locations or to accept new projects, even if the employee has declined. Even human resources has no shred of dignity and only looks out for themselves. Finally, there are very poor prospects of getting hired by the client. Clients almost never take on Infosys employees as full employees. You will be a slave - sorry, contractor - for the rest of your life.

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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