Pros

Happy place if you just want to enjoy life.

Cons

There is rampant compromise in values and impunity in every act of disgrace. The value-adherence once long cherished by the founders is long gone! There is exploitation of every situation. Clients are cheated on delivery front with mismanagement. It is shocking to see, some of the clients are also convinced to allow billing for projects in advance - who readily oblige as their budgets won't get consumed. In return favor, the delivery team helps such clients with extra work later. While doing so, the delivery team exploits the staff with multiple assignments by overloading. It is done particularly for on-site deployment with multiple deployments short staffing and overloading the real good and docile staff members to maintain profitability of projects and account. The lame-duck staff either falls in line and smart lot leaves. The quality of staff has deteriorated and the right thinking managers have also left the company in recent years. Now it is a porous and hollow organization with even the CEO level official accused of making millions in takeover deals and leaving the company under the cloud of doubts. The dishonest staff offers expensive gifts of gadgets and even money to managers during the performance reviews. The people who are willing to engage in such practices get good performance ratings and well paying onsite assignments. They are the ones who don't run risk of getting offloaded from projects when in the overseas posting. Managers openly threat their staff that would resist any wrongdoing about sending back to India, removing from project assignment in a brazen manner. Much recruitment is by personal favors. Quality of the most of the on-site staff of immigrant H1 employees is horrible. There are many people who are on US assignments who cannot talk two proper sentences in English. Spouses of many managers are accommodated in job for doing NOTHING!

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.
