Pros

Great Work-Life Balance, Understanding Seniors. Responsibilities are put on the shoulders at an early stage. Completely upto an individual on how to grow, can say no to assignments. Flexible work timings.

Cons

Not much of High End Consulting work. Projects/Assignments come from IT ISU's hence inclined towards IT. No Great Business/Management Consulting except - Organizational Change Management. Salary not at all near the industry standards. No Flyback options, not great travel arrangements when travelling for assignments. Lack of some great Mid-Management level associates.

It was good, not great, but then again, it depends on the team you work with.

Pros

One of the first things that matter when you work in companies as large as TCS is "the team" you end up working with. If the team and project are good, it sets the tone for your overall experience with the company. Having said that, here are my few pros from working with TCS for 3 years (worked in two locations, Hyderabad & Bangalore) - * TCS is mindful of employee needs. For eg - when I had to relocate from Hyderabad to Bangalore, they did what was required to help me find a new project. That way, I would say they are family friendly. * If your supervisor/manager is good (if you are lucky) and you are fairly capable and good at what you do, chances for career progression are decent. You will have to work hard to get where you want to be. Career progression is a bit slow, but possible. * TCS training is one of the best, but everything good about the company stops with the training.

Cons

I list more cons than pros because my overall experience with the company was just ok. * The renumeration is far from the industry standard, probably at the lower end of the spectrum. * For one year I worked in a project where I put in almost 15 hours of work per day, sometimes sleeping in the office and waking up and working through the next day. Work-life balance was the last thing on my mind during this year. While I enjoyed the work, what irks me is the level of acknowledgement the team received for our work. * My two years in Hyderabad were mired with severe office politics. * The rating system through which employees are promoted or given a raise needs a much needed overhaul.
