Pros

Not too stressful. There are so many devs to share the work across. Pay could be better but pays more than smaller companies. Great place to get experience. Free educational learning. Loved my coworkers.

Cons

Must travel. Time to get within a project may take weeks to months. I was taken out of a project when I started my 2 week vacation and placed on bench for months. Basically when on bench you must seek and accept any project available from any client. I accepted many projects but allocated to different clients multiple times. My past project manager was disrespectful, liked to gas light his employees, and enforces his own political views on others. Infosys likes to use their own virtual environment when completing certificates online which is much slower and tends to freeze. Worst part for me was being placed in roles not related to my experience or technical background. Employees with a high title in Illinois need to complete English courses online, which was odd and time consuming. English is my 1st language and my time could be spent elsewhere. A bachelors is required so they should assume English is known in the U.S. I would like to add that there will be plenty of spam mail and phone calls for projects. When scheduled for an interview with a client, they will not give you a date or time. Once I was called for an interview on a weekend while I was shopping. Prepare to work nights with no overtime with the offshore team. I also want to add that during this pandemic, my PM made jokes of the situation and I was ridiculed for wearing PPE in the office. Infosys also claims that you have work from home hours but that is only if your PM approves. It is unlikely because the clients prefer you to be there in person.

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.
