Pros

1) They provide with all necessary infrastructure to conduct R&D. 2) They have tie-up/work along with many premium Indian -abroad institute. 3) The division goal is to publish research article in top conferences and journal or focus on filing patent. Good for people who want to build research profile to go further for higher studies. 4) Challenging problem to solve.

Cons

1) Industrial research is mostly application oriented which should be reliable as overall systemwise. If you stay for long you feel as if you are running behind someone else research contribution with a different application. The work gives alot of pressure and stress. 2) Pay is less than the competitors.

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.
