Pros

TCS offered promises of growth and no relocation necessary. Not needing to relocate was a poor reason to move into this position. Recruiters oversold the opportunity. It is clear that TCS could be solid, but there are many challenges in diversity and culture holding back great things from happening.

Cons

TCS is clearly not a North American company. All the approaches, the patterns and the culture are against advancement for non TCS standard employees. It is clear that there is limited intention to advance native geography based personnel and there is no accountability for sales and growth among leaders. TCS is even willing to market what it knows it cannot deliver. It is willing to fake it.

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.
