Pros

1. Lots of opportunity to learn. 2. Compensation is ok if u get 4-5 rating. 3. Critical work is highly recognised,but hard work is not recognised. 4. Culture and ethis. 5. Friendly people 6. Lot of growth prospect for really sound tech people as managers are worthless.

Cons

1. Promotion policy not fair. 2. Good resources not easily been released from project and cannot selcet preferred career path. 3. Managers are not atall technically sound , thus project estimation is poor. 4. Hardworking people are not recognised, you can only be recognised if u perform techinically critical job which cannot be performed by others. 5. Raitng System!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Biggest flaw...... 6. Worthless seniors, people stop doing technical job after 5-6 years and manage document. 7. Senior people are getting higher rating even they are not a good performer.

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.
