Pros

Having a big brand name assosiated with your CV or resume. Well know compnay but outside of India for all of the wrong reasons. Gives you a REAL insight.

Cons

Lack of honesty within the cutlure. Communication barriers (many expats in the UK do not speak good English, certainly not good enough to do the job well.) If your not Indian, you will not make it into the senior roles. Reactive approach to clients good at doing what they are told not advising for benefit

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.
