Pros

Getting your foot in the door and establishing a starting point in tech, ability to work from home environment depending on the project managers' instructions for the team.

Cons

No leadership, constant runaround, new hires are forever misguided. Management sucks because they place you in areas that do not align with your educational background. Your employment is tied to a PROJECT. You have no control in whether you stay on project or not. Infosys employees that are on project are hired as contractors by client tech companies to complete project work for that client. If you are on project that has contractual obligations, the length of that contract determines whether you stay on project, which also means your permanent employment with Infosys is affected being that your Infosys employment is tied to staying 100 percent allocated to a project. If the contract does not renew, you're placed on what is called BENCH. What is BENCH? Bench is an internal employment marketplace that each Infosys employee is placed on while your department manager broadcasts your profile created by you that lists your relevant experience, educational background, and key skills to find a project opportunity. USA employees are not given the option to look for projects being that the project opportunity database has not been made available to Infosys employees in the USA. WHAT'S NEXT? Infosys BPHR gives you a 30-45 day notice to find a project. Mind you, the USA Infosys employees are NOT provided accessibility by Infosys to find a PROJECT within Infosys' internal system and then they are LAID off if they are not on project prior to that 30 day or 45 day bench period. Even if management (talent planning portal) manages to find you a project, BPHR and Management will force you to accept that project even if the project requires distant mandatory relocation (i.e, Raleigh NC resident having to relocate to PHX, AZ) because the client does not want to provide reasonable work accomodations (such as work from home, remote in candidates residing city) to candidates that cannot relocate (like MONEY grows on TREES or falls out of the SKY).

Pros

The co workers were nice.

Cons

Low salary Terrible company politics Made fake promises around h1b filing but had to get exceptions and so much follow up and stuff to get it approved. Most managers dont give a s**** about your well being at all and they dont take your side when you are working with clients. If your client is miserable then your life is also miserable. The HR is also useless and incompetent for the most part. You cant even get screens and other equipments for your work. You need to go through ten rounds of some dumb approvals and what not and then even after that its not guaranteed. All the benefits I got were because I had good relations with my manager but this shouldnt be the case. Every employee should be treated equally.
