I applaud any bad press on InfoSys. I picked up contract gig through them a few years ago. Here are some of the takeaways from my short lived experience: - It took them over two weeks to send me a computer. - They cancelled PTO for everyone. (this was the most egregious single thing they did) - They had absolute worst internal site for accessing HR documents and accessing personal resources. Just a maze of links. You could only access it via Internet Explorer (I swear I'm not joking). Everything took forever to load. It was like stepping back into 1997. - When I gave my 2 week notice, they refused and said I 'owed' them at least a month. LOL not sure how they think they can control people like that. I gleefully told them to 'deal with it'. This happened about 45 days after I started as it became obvious very quickly how bad this company treats people.

was in a client position (Infosys was contracting for the companied I worked for). Absolute worst processes in the world. At one point they blocked legit dev domains in their firewall and took 3 weeks to unblock a mongo db after vehement protests. DON'T touch Infosys with a 100ft pole

That has been in the case in most investment banks as well.

To be fair, in many countries (probably most developed ones) there are regulated mandatory min and max notice periods. E.g. in France the standard is 1 to 3 months, negotiable of course.
