Pros

Overall exposure in domains especially BCM and RETL. External certifications in infosys. The rigorous training they impart in you in Mysore is absolutely world class. Leadership sessions and training programs are very good(Atleast till 2006). Dont know how its today

Cons

No organic growth. The company has become too big to grow all its employees with itself Pay hikes are terrible compared to industry standards. Once u are 2 years in the company you will realise that the lateral who joined recently is getting double of what you get! u get disgusted and resign The C2C of the company is a big joke. If they promise you 50k as gross you would max get 30k in hand. And the variable component of your salary is too high. You get punished for the revenue goof ups that the DM and BD folks do. You have absolutely no touch with the senior bosses. All the good things you do remains only to the manager level but one bad thing gets escalated to the DM. Too much internal politics and you need to dance to your managers' and onsite guys' tune.

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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