Pros

Well let's say you didn't manage to get into a good college like the IIT's or the NIT's but infosys will still visit your campus and if you are slightly above the average student , You will be offered a job,

Cons

However Infosys hires a huge amount of freshers throughout the country, It's kind of mass collection of slaves, However you are treated better than slaves, but soon you will realize that there are just too many people doing the same thing you do at the same position you do, so If you were expecting engineering is going to make you rich at infosys, that might not be absolutely true, It is a wonderful company but rising up the ladder is going ot be a difficult task since you're not the only one in the same spot, so maybe a good experience over here might give you some help but don't expect to be in this company forever.
