Pros

You get a paycheck and a job.

Cons

Infosys clearly puts a preference on India-based employees first, then India employees who have relocated to the USA or Canada (I can speak to North America - I'm sure it is the same globally); if you are an American of non-Indian ancestry expect to be discriminated . Infosys is willing to be sued, break laws and pays fines as a "cost of doing business"; this is readily documented and is no secret. If you look at those who get awards, are Delivery Managers, Directors, Industry Principles, leadership in general, 98% are from India yet Infosys does over 60% of their business in North America. All JL6 and below are treated no differently than a "replaceable cog in a machine." Granted, I'm sure there are areas in Infosys that are not like this. This has been my experience for close to 3 years. I gave it a go for personal reasons to WFH due to family needs, and I'm ready to leave. Over the past 3 years I've been here, global attrition has been just over 25% (per SEC Quarterly Reports); INFY employs over 350,000 worldwide, do the turnover and loss of intellectual capital math. No sense of loyalty, just as much billable time and "show me the money". We all have reasons to stay for an employer. Your choice. I'm ready to leave.
