Pros

The company is riding the IT wave happening across the globe. It has systems and processes in place to succesfully take it forward . Think of a conservative middle class family anywhere across the globe - a family in US midwest saving for their children's education, Indian middle class saving for daughter's wedding - and you can see Infosys in them. A steady, stable, wise organization that will never end up like Enron or Lehman Brothers - and will never shine like McKinsey or Goldman Sachs.

Cons

it lacks the sales focus of Cognizant or technical depth of TCS. Organization loyalty factor is too strong. too much of "dead wood" in the organization which is going nowhere and is blocking the growth avenues - but is being not let go of because of loyalty factor
