Pros

all round development.. if u say, u will get the work u want.. senior mgmt at consultant levels listens on u'r concerns .. wat they do wid them. it is on u.. TCS mumbai has good work culture than delhi... all policies depend on client.. he can allow facebook or he can't allow u to open tcs mailbox.. timings are bit flexible if the concerns are genuine. flexibilty in choosing the project as long as requirements match to u'r profile. shift strech is normal.

Cons

mgmt is ineffective in sharin the work.. some have hell lot of work n others don't have in the same project. dey just divide the application,.. They believe in learning n sharing So u can't expect an outside training as long as business is not paying for it. again lack of mgmt in giving onsite opportunity.. 1 project will be sending a fresher at site and others hav 7 yrs guy wid no onsite exposure. Performance appraisals is a joke... make u wait n wait for onsite rather than release u from the project so that u can look 4 onsite from other project.. each TCS office has its own policies wrt stationery to other facilities. they have hell lot of ppl but they expect PL to manage alongside technical stuff..

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.
