Pros

- Can get released from the current project if you don't like project / project lead - Flexible working hours and leaves

Cons

- Those who have spent more than 8-9 years in TCS dream that they are god and know everything (in fact nothing) - Internal politics and worst managers. Nil in technical but good at buttering their superiors - No respect to individuals even though they are more experienced. - Seniors would give suggestions during review(s) but never ever work in real life - Freshers and entry level <3 years employees are putting maximum efforts for project execution and all their credits are taken by PL's/PM's without any value addition (Except conducting meetings with client)

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.
