Pros

onsite opportunities for trainees, diverse skillsets and domains, good for people upto 6 yrs of experience

Cons

TCS with its recent restructuring has shown that it should be called "Tamil Consultancy Services". Most of the ISU heads are south indians(read Tamilian or have a Chennai affiliation). This leaves folks from Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata by the wayside. New management is drunk on the newfound power and are wielding it in a way that anyone who does not align with them does not find a place within the structure. In fact the new ISU structure has only caused a lot of good people to leave TCS. God help the customers now.. Also where TCS sucks is in its appreciation for loyalty. Salaries are not on par with the city that you stay in. It also appears that the more you stay in TCS the less you are appreciated. There is no plan to assimilate the foreign hires and they all quit the moment they find a better opportunity.

Pros

The company image and branding -" The Largest Software Company in Asia". The brand image allures freshers to join the company in the early stages of their career. It's a good launching pad for youngsters fresh out of college to understand how the IT industry operates. A good place to learn new technology, new business areas.

Cons

The Management could have been better - The promotion system is flawed. People wait endless months to get a promotion although the work they are doing deserves them to be in a promoted rank long back. In fact, you will find a lot of people working in a grade which is NOT APPROPRIATE for the nature of work they are doing. The variable pay system is also flawed to an extent, although measures are being adopted to make it more open and transparent. I don't find it surprising that good and talented people leave TCS simply because they were not getting a good variable pay (because their appraisal ranking was low) for a considerable length of time. There is no direct connection between a person's true capability and the ranking (leads to variable pay package) he gets. Thankfully, towards my last months in TCS, I saw management taken steps to make the appraisal process more open and effective for the employees.
