Pros

Time flexibility Good balance of work and time. Some really bright people Lot of travel options with work. Best part is that they give almost everyone a chance,

Cons

Poor growth - Too large a company. You will loose yourself in the sea unless you have connections at the top Too much focus on client and shareholders that they lose focus on their main strength - employees

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.
