Pros

The best place for a fresher to learn and grow.. For experienced prof .. Better move out. You get time off for yourself , the timing are flexible.. but that again depends basically on your boss. he may ask u to be in sharp 9 or a better one wud just ask you to deliver well. Learning is good if you get time , you can go for certifications etc and co. will reimburse you if possible. Training are good , the ILP or the Introductory Learning Program is THE best part.. or lemme say .. A honeymoon period , post that you really know the pain thats there in a relationship.

Cons

You are stuck with the same package after level 1 promotion.. for 3 yrs your salary wont just change. On top of that you abilities even thou how good may not be recognized. If your doing your job well no one is gonna bother . However if you stop working , then only u get noticed. The best way to get an onsite/promotion or getting your work done is to threaten them with resignation. Well.. if you get onsite your rating is bound to go down inspite of your work or whatever. All people may not agree to me but then thats is a fact.

Pros

Large client base. Talented people, have "cracked the code" on offshoring development and support.

Cons

For anyone used to working in US-based firms, the culture and politics will be difficult to understand and navigate. Internal policies and systems focus on the offshore delivery center model. Roles in the US do not fit into that mold, and obtaining approvals for simple expenses can require weeks and insanely high approval chains given the size of TCS. I needed approval from a global division head (a CEO direct-report) just to pay for a short training course. Missions of different departments are not clearly defined, so overlap and conflict are common.
