Pros

TCS is a good place to start for an Indian engineer from any engineering background. Work gets boring after a couple of gyears unless you get into some good project with scope for professional growth. There are Good opportunities for onsite early on in the career which allows one to grow personally as well. Some good people are present in the comapny who make life easier to deal with in the company. Probably TCS is the best in its class in Indian software companies.If you know the correct people this is a good place to grow. If not life will be completely doomed.

Cons

low cost adantage - so low salary promotions are few and far difficult to change domains/projects

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.
