A great place for someone who can swim on their own - Associate Consultant Tata Consultancy Services Employee Review

Pros

If you are aggressive, talented and the most important - if you can lie through you teeth (to your boss and to your customer) - you have an ideal place to grow (seriously). If you can swim on your own this is one ideal place to reach heights which is unthinkable in other companies.

Cons

TATA values in TCS - come on you must be kidding. Processes, appraisals, training, employee focus, these are words used to attract outside world - reality sucks.

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.
