Pros

You work alongside some of the best people. Infosys is very particular about hiring the best people and this ensures that the best minds are at work here. Lots of opportunities to learn and grow. You can learn about new technology and work on anything that excites you. You can always speak your mind fearlessly. The management makes a lot of effort to communicate with everyone. They take a lot of pains to communicate the policies clearly. A very open-door culture where hierarchy is almost absent. You get to discuss and decide where you want to go. A well respected company in India and saying you work for Infosys always makes people think you are bright :)

Cons

Strict and rigid policies. The offices in most Infosys development centres are very far from the city, so you must be ready for a long commute. If you are keen on work-life balance, then Infosys is not the place for you. Depending on the project you work on, your work-life balance can tip either way. No work from home facility. Women employees find it difficult to cope. The work timings are 9 hours and 15 minutes everyday and your work time is strictly monitored. Add the commute time to that and you could be spending anywhere between 12 to 14 hours away from home. From being a very employee friendly company this company has now slipped to being a very difficult to work for employer. It's a huge company and so associated red-tape and other problems.

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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