Pros

Remote Work provides flexibility to those who need it.

Cons

Where do I begin: 1. Pay/Benefits are not competitive with Big 4 and some boutique consulting firms. 2. Dishonest senior leadership - recent layoff was done without notice, reasonable severance, or other common courtesies. 3. Lack of Diversity - all of the executive leadership team are Indian men...it trickles down to lower levels where other demographic groups are excluded from opportunities. 4. Lack of Advancement - there's been a hiring "freeze" for over 4 years now. 5. Lack of Identity (Low Cost Outsourcer vs SI/Consulting Firm) - TCS is stuck in bottom line mentality... leaning on low overseas labor as their competitive advantage. This leads to a lack of vision, investment in employees, and effort to differentiate or deliver quality products. 6. Many others... too many to list.

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.
