Pros

Hiring process was pretty quick and smooth. most of the system were automated.

Cons

Since I was hired I am on bench I am not sure why I was hired. Its been more than 2 months and I am staying at home. I confused how bench is handled here and I am not sure where my project will be and when will it starts. I am a full time Infosys employee staying at home since my first day. I personally don't know any one inside the infosys. I get couples of calls each day. Its like I just got a job and I am still searching a job. I just passed my interview and I have to give interviews again. It's really frustrating.
