Pros

* Decent learning platform * Good team collaboration * Job Security

Cons

* Work at the pace of a horse, get promoted at the pace of a snail * Mystic promotion policies - No one knows when will you be promoted including your own manager * No Sponsorship for educational programs (especially Masters) * Zero work life balance * One of the lowest paychecks in the industry. Company does billions in revenue on the backs of sleepless and high performing employees. But, denies to pay them well. * TCS Gems, TCS Employee Reward programs are a Joke! * No incentive for long term and loyal employees. On top of it, you cannot join TCS back once you resign (A Punishment for competitive edge?, horrible policy)

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.
