Pros

(1)You'll learn Java if you are given java development. But in that too old technologies are used. (2)You'll learn how to create PPTs, word documents and Excel sheets even if you are from IT background. (3)You'll learn the management politics.

Cons

The points mentioned below are solely for TCS-SBI project. (1) No or partially working AC (small desk fans are provided that too in sharing) (2)Worst cafeteria (3)Higher management treats Junior employees as their servants. (4) No corporate ethics. (5) Mental harassment at every possible level. (6)No matter how technically strong you are, you should know how to appraisals solely depends on how you impress your managers. (7) Managers selects you as a developer role with a confirmation and puts you into Production Support role and getting out of it is difficult. (8) Taking leaves or comp-offs is a tedius task as they lack backup resources. (9) There's no point contacting HRs as they'll always favour senior managers. (10) No work life balance especially if you are into Production Support. I wish there was a provision of negative ratings because even 1 is way more than they deserve.

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.
