Pros

Steady paycheck, good medical insurance.

Cons

An arrogant, tribal. "Indians First" mentality pervades all levels of this company, Americans clearly are hired/tolerated only because of the recent crackdown on H1B visa abuses. I was recently told "We are here because America can not do this work without our expertise". Hogwash... In the eyes of my Infy management team my only purpose was to fill a cube as a billable body, it was a demeaning experience and I left the company after only six months.
