Pros

Infosys was a great opportunity for a recent college grad. They are a big company and I ended up spending 6 months in a very nice campus in India, and this was an amazing experience that I'd recommend to any post-college job seeker. Pay and benefits were comparable to other job offers I had received, and way higher then the averages for liberal arts majors who also were hired on for their training program. The company has vast resources and well stocked information libraries and references. It is a good name to have under your belt and it is certainly an international experience.

Cons

Infosys is plagued with bureaucracy. Because it is a large company, one often feels like a number rather than a person. All too often, coworkers do not recognize the difference between knowing something and knowing of something. Even though my position was Software Engineer after the initial training I would be placed in a business analyst role. This is not what I went to school for and there is little room for non Indians to practice their technical skills. Having history, business, and com majors fill the same position as CS grads and calling them all software engineers is slightly demoralizing from a bachelor of Science's perspective. There is no guaranteeyou will be assigned to your preferred office when returning to the USA

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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