Pros

The initial 3 month training was fun and completely paid for by Infosys and made it seem like we were really preparing to work on some substantial projects. You can also collect pay checks while doing nothing on bench, did this for about 6-7 months.

Cons

A mere 2 weeks prior to the end of training my initial location from my offer letter was changed on me. Figuring out your own reporting manager is a hassle on its own and management is terrible at communicating. Your own preference is basically negligible regarding project locations. I requested a specific location over 5/6 times yet random other project leads would be calling me for open projects in different locations. In the end I finally received my preferred location over 7 months later, having done 0 work on bench while being paid this whole time, and accepted a new job offer suited to my background, Computer Science - yet Infosys continually refused good software development projects and tried shoe horning me into a business analyst role, in less than 2 weeks of joining the new project from Infosys. Oh did I mention the new job pays about 48% more than the associate at Infosys salary? Salary for associates here is abysmal, absolutely disrespectfully low salary compared to other similar level positions in the same domain and area.
