Pros

Hiring process was pretty quick and smooth. most of the system were automated.

Cons

Since I was hired I am on bench I am not sure why I was hired. Its been more than 2 months and I am staying at home. I confused how bench is handled here and I am not sure where my project will be and when will it starts. I am a full time Infosys employee staying at home since my first day. I personally don't know any one inside the infosys. I get couples of calls each day. Its like I just got a job and I am still searching a job. I just passed my interview and I have to give interviews again. It's really frustrating.

Pros

I’ve been applying to Infosys for the past year and have submitted over 200 applications. Because Infosys limits accounts to 100 applications, my first two email accounts were eventually suspended, and I created a third one. Today, December 30, 2025, just before the end of the year, I finally received an offer. It wasn’t an easy journey. I went through 40+ interviews, faced many rejections, and learned something from each one. It wasn’t my time then, but the process taught me resilience, patience, and growth. To fellow job seekers: trust the process, keep learning, and don’t give up. Now the real work begins, showing up and performing well. Wishing everyone happy holidays and continued success.

Cons

The journey was extremely time-consuming and emotionally demanding, with repeated rejections, long interview cycles, and limited feedback creating uncertainty and burnout. Application limits and suspended accounts added logistical frustration, while focusing heavily on one company reduced flexibility to pursue other opportunities. The prolonged process also delayed career and financial stability, highlighting the real personal and professional cost behind the eventual success.
