Pros

The largest IT company in Asia. Boasts of a large employee strength in excess of 120,000 Penetration into any and every market all over the globe Lot of overseas opportunities

Cons

Compensation is the worst in it's class. being such as large company, it would be expected that TCS looks to keep it's employees happy with adequate compensation. Bad job satisfaction and no recognition for a job well done. There is an attitude that any task can be achieved through freshers. 50% of the employee strength are graduates with less than 2-3 three years of experience, which means that they often do not have the experience to accomplish many tasks. The middle management is very often highly incompetent, and because of this, the team suffers.

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.
