Pros

It was a job. People were nice. Decent place to learn at the start of your career.

Cons

Money was terrible. Had to fill out pointless time sheets twice a day. Forced to sideload an in-house MFA app on our personal devices that had permissions to read any files, ludicrous. Constantly hounded and bombarded with emails about upskilling. Company does not have a good reputation.

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.
