Pros

As a body shop, You have the luxury of knowing that you'll likely not be out of work long if your position is not a good fit. Infosys will help find you a new project pretty quickly (I was only on bench for about 2.5 months when I needed to switch). If you like to travel, you may enjoy working here.

Cons

Because it's a body shop, you can't build a real rapport with either company. And the space between you and the client company, can lie deceit. I recently had a year-end review with my managers, who put me down as "met expectations" (so little to no raise or promotion, which only happens once a year) because they "Couldn't get in contact with the client". This despite having told them of multiple client contacts who would vouch for the fact that I went above and beyond expectations to ensure deadlines were met and code was well-written. E.G. I fully developed two client applications in a year, one from scratch and one which was a re-design, and in both instances I put in hours of overtime to ensure I could get both into production on schedule, frequently suggested positive changes in the codebase or features, and was utilized as an expert to review other developers' code. For the second application, I was brought in with the deadline a month away and the project 6 weeks behind schedule. Both applications are fully functional and in use in production today Once management caved and finally talked to the client (if they actually did), I was given BS corporate speak about the client saying I needed to "work on my initiative", and that I would still only get "met expectations". This means either 1) The client lied to me about how appreciative they were of my performance. 2) My manager lied to me about what the client said, or still never contacted the client. Also, since it's a body shop, you can sometimes be expected to just uproot your life in a week to move across country to a new client. Infosys will "help" with moving expenses, but it still winds up not being enough.
