Pros

Infosys has a lot to give for those new to the field. They have extensive trainings and an array of positions to fill if you meet the requirements.

Cons

Their management hierarchy is a joke. For a while, I didn't know who my direct manager even was. The laptop they gave me is from 2014 and barely functions. Most of my time is spent debugging my own machine. Upper management prioritizes hiring more people over keeping the workers they have. Half of their internal systems don't work. I've worked on a few projects and I see why. There is no focus put on Infosys employees working on Infosys systems. A coworker of mine was threatened with termination due to his "lack of a project" though he was an integral member of multiple internal development teams. It also doesn't help that I am being paid a fraction of industry standards.
