Pros

The goodness lies in your luck.If you are lucky enough then you will get a good project otherwise its all support project.Good company for those who are not looking for opportunity but just to stay afloat as most of them are support project and you can keep your gray matter of your brain at your home. Good company for those who do not want to do any work but want a periodic promotion. Good comapny for those who posses excellent buttering skill to senior. If you are tamil and posted in chennai then this can be a real party since other people from other ODCs will work while you reap the benefit.

Cons

Management don't give a damn to employees. No planning is seen at lower level its all ad hoc basis. Senior Management really has some worthless people who are there for the last 20 yrs or so because they do not want to get out of the safe heaven.

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.
