Pros

They dont lay off, flexibility to certain extent, benefits is ok. For people on H1B visa, approval rates are better than other Indian IT companies. They may sponsor you for GC.

Cons

1. This is an L1 shop PERIOD! 2. For people on visa, very hard to change projects. 3. Most projects are support in nature , they work mostly on legacy systems. Customers treat this company as cost partner rather than tech partner. Hence , little chance for working on greenfield projects. 4. Very poor pay package , treatment to employees very bad. They force you into work that has nothing to do with your aspirations or tech skills. 5. Absolutely no work life balance. People have meetings early in the morning and the day does not end until 1:30 -12 in the night. Also, folks are expected to work on weekends. 6. They have no clear boundary of roles, team member has to call candidates, ask them for resume and then evaluate them by conducting interviews and then coordinate their onboarding and keep checking on their on boarding status 7. Senior management lies frequently when asked about promotion , pay hikes.

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.
