Pros

TCS has phenomenal people - this is bar far one of the best reasons to work for TCS. In my years with the company I have been extremely impressed with the caliber of the people I have interacted with. There are also a variety of career opportunities. I have seen people start in consulting and move into another workforce later in their career when they needed a change or wanted a slower pace but still have a challenging and interesting career. TCS is a top notch, highly reputable company which makes me proud to be employed there. It offers excellent benefits and flexibility,

Cons

Promotion is biased and there is no such thing as work life balance. There is no importance given to your career growth. You have to be chargeble and working at all times even though the work is not related to your skill set.

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.
