Pros

TCS has phenomenal people - this is bar far one of the best reasons to work for TCS. In my years with the company I have been extremely impressed with the caliber of the people I have interacted with. There are also a variety of career opportunities. I have seen people start in consulting and move into another workforce later in their career when they needed a change or wanted a slower pace but still have a challenging and interesting career. TCS is a top notch, highly reputable company which makes me proud to be employed there. It offers excellent benefits and flexibility,

Cons

Promotion is biased and there is no such thing as work life balance. There is no importance given to your career growth. You have to be chargeble and working at all times even though the work is not related to your skill set.

Pros

Good for people who don't want to work too much and are not concerned about growth or skills improvement. If you are not concerned about growth but are just looking for some basic salary this is the company. Especially good for women who have families and don't want to devote too much time on work.

Cons

Growth opportunities are low. Performance is not valued. Technology / Skills are low. They work based on quantity than on quality. Seniority and number of years matter more than what you know and the skill you posses.

Pros

You will never be fired. All Tata group companies have this policy of job guarantee. They will never fire people even in tougher economic times unless the company is going to sink. Tata has brand value that it's a good company that has society value & even apart from profits, they engage in intitiatives that says about their social responsibility Initial stages you get oppurtunties to work outside India & monetary wise it's beneficiary They care for employees and the working conditions are not harsh as some of the other IT companies I've heard. Overall, it's a good company to work if you are a person wanting mediocre way of life without much surprises.

Cons

Penny wise & Pound foolish. This is what always comes in my mind when I think of my company. They are involved in cost reduction to an extent you can never imagine. It's a good thing to reduce your operating costs but not at the cost of earning employee dissatisfaction. Even to get any requirements done for project needs(such as a laptop), you'll have to have approval from CFO. One more thing I particularly dislike is, few people work hard and everyone bask in their glory. We have some very incompetent managers at all levels and they don't have the authority to fire people who are liability to the company Promotion/career advancement are always experience based rather than performance based like good old government agencies
