Pros

Good Onsite opportunities. Lethargic working style. Good employee care. Brand value within India, gives a good impression when you work for TATAs. Good work ethics. Frequent training options. Recognition to work. HR prcatices are good. Very good RMG. Job security (Now as the top management is changed, cant be sure of this in future).

Cons

Political environment Group-ism. On-sight assignments are not very transparent. Very-very-very low compensation as compared other employers. On-sight managers are not dynamic and competent (might be 1st and 3rd pts are responsible for this) Majorly survives on support projects. Top management believes in getting contracts rather than building an international market by providing innovative solutions.

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.
