Pros

Infosys seems to consistantly have projects with large clients. Their consultants are very knowledgable, and competent. This is also a well recognized company.

Cons

Infosys requires their consultants to relocate for every project, and their relocation package is limited. Therefore, you could be relocating to a new city every 6-12 months. The only people that seem to be willing to do this are consultants that they bring over from India, on H-1 visas. I had taken their offer out of desperation, during a recession. Their compensation offer might sound ok on the surface, but really consists of a lower base salary with performance bonuses. For the year you might come out with what you are looking for, but on a monthly level the pay might not be what you are looking for. This is also a company that seems to have grown too fast for its own infrastructure. I felt that there was very poor communication amongst management, and that this was a very disconnected company. My hiring manager was in India, and just pawned me off to the project manager. The company's new hire orientation is done via a conference call, with a PowerPoint walk through. When I turned in my resignation, they were a little pushy about seeing if I would stay longer, and acted as if it was my responsibility to find my replacement. My co-workers told me this was normal. I'm sure they just handed out another visa and sent someone over from India. Unless you are in need of visa sponsorship or are in a desperate situation, then advise you not to make the mistake of working there. Any company that uses the services of Infosys is typically getting a project team that consists 100% of Indians on H-1 visas. Therefore, they are taking jobs away from citizens. I have the utmost respect for the consultants that choose to work here on their visas. I just don't understand why an organization would have such little concern for the work-life balance of their employees, that this statistic would be so lopsided.
