Pros

The company is the industry leader. The company is also doing a better job of bringing together the different entities within in the company which in the end should help provide more opportunity for the employees to grow.

Cons

Poor Work/Life Balance. The company is doing extensive outsourcing to India which creates some communication issues when dealing with issues. The vacation and benefits packages seem to lag when compared to the industry. The company is very lean right now which causes a lot of extra work and long hours for certain positions.

Pros

We were acquired by Nielsen and then assimilated within the bigger organization. Ability to keep your own hours.

Cons

- Outsourcing. especially if you are not in mid-upper level management. Upper mgmt loves to replace technical people with TCS employees, supposedly cut labor costs. - Top heavy. Upper mgmt is in a flux with roles changing daily. No clear direction as of yet. - Upper mgmt treats employees as replaceable commodities. (again with the intention of outsourcing) The motto is "One engineer/analyst is as good as another cheaper one " - Low morale. - Career growth depends on your immediate supervisor. If you dont brown nose, you dont go ahead.
