Pros

The training provided by Infosys is truly world class and you can do well as a programmer in any company if you survive through their training period.

Cons

Bench periods can be long after training is over. (6-12 months) You will be made to pass useless certification tests often completely unrelated to your domain or interest. You can be put into a project using a completely different technology than the one you got trained in. Recently growth has slowed down compared to some peers because of their strategy of not sacrificing margins while going for bigger projects.
