Pros

- Almost no day-to-day work, so you have plenty of time to work externally on learning whatever you want to do after Infosys. - Pay is OK for the role (~$60k/yr); certainly enough to support yourself, but you could definitely make more if you have an offer from another company. Benefits seem par for course. Healthcare, vision, dental, 401k matching, pre-tax commuter account for parking and the like, etc. All of the above is deducted from your paycheck only if you opt-in. - 6% match on retirement contributions. - Good way to get a STEM job on your resume if you don't have a STEM degree. My daily routine: wake up, hop on a short call where nothing relevant to me is discussed, then lose contact with everyone on my project for the rest of the day. I regularly spend the days taking online coding courses relevant to the job I want after I leave Infosys or leaving the house (WFH) to run errands.

Cons

- As an entry-level employee based in the US, you will likely be placed on a team with mostly people in India; you may have contact with them for an hour or two in the morning, but then their workday ends and you have nothing to do. - There seems to be no interest in what an employee does on a daily basis after being placed on a project; I am lucky to have 5 hours a week of work to do. - You will likely spend the first few months of employment with Infosys thinking they've forgotten about you completely. - Some regions are pushing employees to relocate to their respective Infosys office, despite still being 100% work from home. So, you end up moving across the country away from any family or friends you may have for no real reason.

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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