Pros

As an American at Infosys, you attain a high level of job security, as U.S. citizens previously provided Infosys with greater opportunities to land H1-B visas for their predominantly Indian workforce. You also get to travel to new places in the world, broaden your cultural horizon, and get to work with a variety of strong clients across many industries.

Cons

Upper management is inefficient. You face barrier after barrier of red tape and ineffective means of communication, promotion, and decision-making. You will have many questions and few answered. Benefits are not stellar. Work experiences will vary wildly depending on the client you are assigned to, which can range from AMEX, Gap, Microsoft, UBS, or Goldman Sachs, to much smaller named companies. Your PM may not care at all how you are progressing or may be absent altogether, or he may push you to the edge as you are leaning to your fullest potential. Generally, their soft skills could use improvement.
