Pros

Chance to get exposed to large tech companies

Cons

You'll likely sit around for months after training and have to deal with them expecting you to always be in constant communication with them and available any hour to answer calls from people in India about projects. The location they give you on your offer letter is meaningless, and they'll use your job security as ways to threaten you to get you to relocate multiple times no matter what personal financial cost it has on you. They'll pay you far under market average, despite being largely in major cities that cost subsantially more to actually live in. After all the time you sit around on bench after training, the odds are whatever project you get put onto will be filled with nothing but grunt work no matter your personal experience or even if you're not the newest person to join them. If you're not Indian, they'll actively work against you and make sure you know they see you as a lesser employee

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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