Pros

They will pay you consistently and on time. Beyond that, my experience has been absolutely devoid of any positive experience.

Cons

They will promise you the world and the only thing they will deliver on will be the salary and benefits. The training they say you will receive is non-existent, any certifications they claim you will receive are unlikely to actually happen, your skill set will be ignored, and any location preferences you give them will be treated with contempt. Should you decide to bring any of these issues to the attention of management, you will be dismissed and told to do your job. This is a company that does not see its workers as people but rather as nameless resources to throw at their problems. They do not care if the employee is a good fit for the role.

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.
