Pros

Very relaxed approach to work. Very large organization - so there will be some kind of work for all kinds of people. Top outsourcing company - so very stable job.

Cons

Surrounded by incompetent freshers. No inspiration to learn and grow. Good only if you get into a large client implementation with lot of onsite opportunity. Not much guided learning. Slow growth as there is a large overhead. No freebies - not even coffee. No Cab even for late night work unless client pays.

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.
