Pros

Education, they provide free education.

Cons

- Work Life Balance -> Your job is not 9 to 6 like they stated in LO. Your work time will be basically following client's time sometimes, you don't get to sleep and finding yourself working throughout night with no sleep and expected to perform well the next day. If you are single and have no life, then his company for you. - Diversity and Inclusiveness -> Constantly you will find subtle racism and favouritism been shown to certain section of people. From day 1, I don't feel I belong here. If you don't hail from India, and don't speak the majority language, you will be a black sheep here Leadership -> Highly bureaucratic, vertically structured organisation, where your reporting manager or team lead will be not available should you as team member need help. Everybody for themselves attitude here Appreciation -> One of the worst company I have worked for as my luck gotten me. When you manage to hit the story points, immediately the leadership talks about next story point, no single pat-on-the-back for the least. But if you missed a single sprint, that's it, 8th sin you have committed and removed from the project. No career stability or job security unless you hail from certain part of the world Remuneration -> One of the lowest paid salary with no travel or meal allowances. 5 days office days, means there is no Cost of Living allowances. For the salary, you were expected to do 5 people's job alone. Which I did. Healthcare -> One of the worst I have encountered. Unless you hail from certain part of the world, your insurance is covered 100%, if you are from, elsewhere you have to bear 20% of the final bill with pay and claim basis Wrong company, but I love the job

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.
