Pros

I had a job for a few months, and was contracted to a wonderful company who I really liked.

Cons

They took over for another contracting company, which ended my contract with the other company. They immediately gave me an offer of $35k LESS than what I was making before. After negotiating up, I accepted an offer with more money than they initially offered and more vacation time. When I got my offer letter, it was the original offer. This happened 3 times. After I started the job, they tried to make everything as it was with the original offer AGAIN. Which took months to fix. By that time I was already looking for another job. I found a job with better pay and time off, they asked to counter offer it. I agreed. On my last day they asked me for more time to make an offer (they had 3 weeks), I said no. So called later and they offered me the same exact contract that I was already on and expected me to stay.

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.
