Pros

Well TCS is a excellent company if a) You find yourself onsite b) You land yourself in a wonderful project with good managers (rare) c) For various reasons you want to have a chill out time d) If you for some reason want some enormous challenges in your life, which you may succeed in overcoming, but may not be rewarded for. It does give a lot of internal satisfaction though. e) TCS does have good clients. f) Job Stability.

Cons

TCS is not an good company and definitely not a good first company because : a) Pathetically bad management. It's like only bad people stick around in TCS for long. b) Reward and Recognition is extremely bad. No motivation at all. c) Bad HR, absolutely no involvement. Bad canteen, bad admin. d) Bureaucracy in operations. e) No Training for the work to be done, its all quite haphazard. f) TCS is primarily doing support work. New implementations are rare. g) A really bad place for CA's, MBA's and other professionals. h) A Promotion takes eternity here - 5-6 years.

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.
