Pros

I thought the salary was good for my experience of 1 year in business systems consulting. New Innovation Hub would've been nice to work more from, but I was constantly traveling away from the town I lived in for a project.

Cons

Upon being hired, I was told I would be working locally on a project and that many opportunities would exist for projects in the area. For the 1st month of employment I received almost no info from management about what I was supposed to be doing, the position was remote but I was on payroll. Once the project started I ended up having to fly to a distant city every other week to meet with the client. The project fell behind and I was extremely stressed and overworked. I also had to take over an entire module of the system when my SME left for another module, even though I did not have the experience to be a Lead BA. When the project ended I was on the bench for 5 months because all of the projects required relocation, which I told the manager upon being hired that I would not be willing to relocate. Even though I scored very high in my annual review, eventually I was released since I was not willing to relocate.

Pros

Legitimate source of gainful project-based tech employment. Handles the headaches of looking for tech work and verifying your talent & legitimacy as a professional in the field, which is especially valuable in the age of AI. Additionally, they offer internal training resources to help ensure your skills are up to date with the current tech landscape.

Cons

Pay can be significantly lower than might be expected for tech work at higher levels, as their business model is as a staffing company, garnishing part of the wage paid by project clients as part of your employment. It's definitely very livable payment in most places, but it doesn't approach senior or even mid-level pay offered by many other US-operating employers in the tech space. This company has also been operating on slow or outdated systems, which can be frustrating for the remote contact of many of its employees, but Infosys has been actively updating these systems over time. Additionally, work conditions will be set at the behest of clients. Infosys is your pipeline to client projects, not often the host of projects themselves, so working conditions & expectations can vary by client.
