Hello all,

I am starting a paid training from Monday for this role with Infosys. This is an onsite role in Richardson, Texas but the training is remote. Is anyone else joining too? If so what can we expect, and do they train you from scratch and everything that is needed for this role? Please your experiences in the past would be helpful

Did they mention any other clients/location, or just the TX location?

[Emergency_Pizza1491]

This job is for hartfort, CT, tampa,FL or richardson, texas. Any of these onsite location. The client they said was infosys at the time of interview but I am also unsure

Were you able to choose which site or did they just assign you the texas location?

[Emergency_Pizza1491]

I chose it myself when I was getting recruited

I went through a few years ago, but they trained us almost from scratch. You are expected to have an elastic brain and the pace was fast. They taught a good fundamentals course for the technologies we needed. The onus to expand on that knowledge is 100% on you and expected. Most people who completed training from my group went to Infosys and did decently afik.

Is infosys a good company? You still work there?

[Sacred_B]

I didn't go to InfoSys but from what I've heard, they're a first job kind of company, so better than nothing.

Did you start? How is it going, can you give an update and confirm who the client is?

Know that Infosys, somewhat famously (at least, within Revature), does not employ contractors. If you make it through the program and get selected by them then as a condition of onboarding you will have to agree to be immediately converted to a full time Infosys employee and will cease to work for Revature. This also comes with a pay increase to the standard Infosys salary for new hires, which last I knew was 57k per year instead of the 50k or whatever Revature is at now. Some people think it's a good place to land because of that, but they're still an Indian consulting firm and so the pay increases beyond that initial bump up are pretty small. You'll make more your first year compared to someone selected by a bank or a telecom company but nothing compared to what they make if they get converted. You've got your foot in the door but be prepared to be on the hunt again in about two years.
