Pros

Good infrastructure. Good training. Good brand value.

Cons

Not much technical growth. Most projects are testing and support projects. Endless hours of working - working 12 hours is normal -you can't rant about it. I have seen my friends working for 14 hours in night shift. And this is not something people do to be competitive, they are forced for that by their managers. Little respect for employees by their managers. If your team works for 13 hours and you leave in 12 hours , you are considered to have negative attitute. Have little aspirations before you join infosys . work less and enjoy ... don't think you will have brand value on joining infosys. There are 1.2 lakh people working here, which means every fourth person in india working in IT sector is an infoscian. If you have little aspirations here , you will enjoy your life.
