Pros

I have 5 years of work experience. TCS is a good company but dont ever join at Kolkata location prefer Mumbai or Pune location

Cons

If you are non bengali and join at Kolkata location then you have face the worst.....Extreme Extreme politics..Its a dirty pool of politics...Does not matter how techincal you are....Only thing matters how political you are..If you can adjust with bengali politics then you can get good onsite oppurtunities otherwise work for years without getting any benefits....... But trust me no body can adjust with bengali politics...All senior management,all managers are politicians.........

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.
