Pros

1.Good work culture 2. Big name and big brand 3. All facilities for mind relaxation (sports [All sports], yogas, swimming, weekly events and parties) 4. Almost no work pressure

Cons

1. Very low salary. 2. No hike in salary: Infosys have Rating system. Based on this number , employees get the yearly hike. This rating number can be 3(Not good),2(Okay),1(Good),1+(Very good). If you are getting rating as '3', you will be in mess You will get yearly hike as big 0%. Even if it is '2', even then you may get the yearly hike as 2-3% which is almost equivalent to 0%. I know some employees who have worked in Infosys for more than 7 years. They started with the salary package as 3.25 but now they are getting even less than 7. If your rating is 1+(Very good-Very very rare to get), even then you wont get more than 10 to 12 % yearly hike This only con is enough over all pros. So you might not want to stay in infosys for long duration unless you are very sure of getting an US-Europe onsite opportunity. 3. US Onsite opportunity is not guaranteed. I know one employee who has stayed in Infosys for the last 8 years to get US onsite, but still he hasn't got it. He is totally dumped now even after spending whole hearted effort all these years

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 This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time.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