Pros

Reliable paycheck; great pay in relation to service IT roles, bad pay in relation to product IT roles. Work life balance is great if you get a good client Tons of resources available to learn new skills for free They will pay for certifications if they are relevant to current role Tons of different industries to work in Basically good first gig out of university to get your feet under you, earn some certs, and figure out what you want to do for the longer term. It's a good gig if you're currently unemployed and need a reliable paycheck ASAP.

Cons

If they can't find you a client you have to move to new client location or be terminated; relocation bonus is not enough to cover (they give you about $2000 depending on how far/COL) There is NO personal career development from their end; performance review results are seemingly random (this is what your yearly raise is based on). You may have 5 stars on every individual attribute but be given a 2/5 overall, leading to a poor raise. There are many poor clients with poor teams, if you get put on one of these accounts your best bet is to ask to be released and try again. You can be released from client at any time and have to move cities/states for a new one Not a good gig for someone looking to immediately advance their career. Not good for someone looking for a "forever home"

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.
