Pros

Initial training is good. It will set you up for a decent career in software industry.

Cons

For onsite deputes, Infosys will discontinue employer contribution to India Provident (pension) fund after a limited time, an year or so (and their India pension fund contribution is also very negligible, anyhow). Plus, there is no contribution to 401K or Bonus or ESIP for US deputes. On top of all that, the pay for deputes is also among the industry lowest. Essentially, if you work long term for Infosys at US on deputation, you will end up losing on a lot of fronts - no pension plan, not any decent savings due to low pay, frequent relocations etc. It might be okay for a short term stint, say ~2 years; after that, it’s better to explore better opportunities elsewhere! Company loyalty is fine; but one needs to care of themselves and their family, first. Unfortunately, Infosys doesn’t seem to give a damn about that for their long term, loyal employees!! It’s just numbers and resources for them, take it or leave it! Not much work-life balance either to boot. I worked for 13+ years for this company. After all these years, I don’t have any money saved for retirement; got some peanut amount as Provident Fund and Gratuity. I feel bad I didn’t think much about my retirement. I should have explored for better opportunities 5 years back!!

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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