Pros

Paid training, Decent salary, Per Diem during training, and Decent training.

Cons

A standard Indian IT body-shop. No transparency, last minute emails/instructions, lack of details on projects/task, lack of communication and rapport with managers or other co-workers. I've never met in person my interviewers, talent managers, or any supervisors that was in charge of me. Projects are assigned to you base on availability, not training and you aren't given any options. I was given instructions on where to meet on client site literally almost 8 PM the night before on an email. The email only said to meet at a building and when I got there, I had no access to parking or the building. None of this was mentioned in the email. No one knew who I was at the building and had to wait about 1.5 hrs in the lobby till the person in charge of me came and got me. After that I sat in an open office space for 3 weeks waiting. Not sure why they train me in .Net to put me on a project involved with data migration and transformation in Azure. This project had very little programming and was centered around cloud, basically Devops in Azure. The project had basically "no documentation for new members" - senior associate. I was given vague task that requires me to ask around(several people) for details. Slow update on my emails/calendars, wasn't getting meeting and event times for the first 3 weeks. A lot of long and tedious meetings that took up a lot of time and delay seniors from helping me. Seniors had no idea about the details of my assignment and was just given vague instructions. I have been given task that literally just had a title like " Authorization to Database" and nothing else. Some of my task were found to already be done. 3k or ~5 percent raise in the first year. I know colleagues who has been on the bench for 3+ months after training. Sometimes you had to do interviews when you're on bench for projects, basically you are working for a middle man. About half of my training colleagues quit within the first year.

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.
