Pros

You do nothing all day?

Cons

Everything. You will get offered a decent salary and feel great and then realize that your coworkers who have absolutely no experience in the field make the same amount as you. If you have any medical issues, you will pay almost $400/month in insurance. You will not be trusted to do anything as a new hire and do what they say is “admin work” even though you got hired in the field you got your advanced degree in. Your training will be 3+ months long with the absolute worst teachers you have ever had & you will learn nothing. They will relocate you and insist you go into the office even though you work maybe 1hr a day and there is no wi-fi at the office and you will have to buy your own ethernet adapter for your laptop. I can go on and on. Avoid this company with your entire life.

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.
