Pros

-Great values and empathy shown towards employees -Great flexibility to choose the right kind of work that we are interested in -Plenty of opportunity to go to onsite and work at client locations -Good brand name

Cons

-Pay not on par with the competitors -Some of the senior management are not competent in terms of their jobs. They try to somehow survive in the organization -HR is not competent though it is a huge department -Some of the recent hires are not upto standards. They are going for mass recruitment and the quality clearly is suffering

Pros

TCS is a global organization - has big aspirations to be "Top 10 by 2010." The culture here is very accommodating. If you need time off to visit family in India or take care of a family member, take it, no questions asked. Leave without pay is also offered, but only to expatriates.

Cons

Too many politics across all directions of the organization. Decisions do not happen in a timely fashion, and if they do happen they take place in a vaccum. Sadly, there is an "us" vs. "them" mentality. It is an unspoken rule that Indian employees receive better treatment than the local hires hired in the US. Internal processes are a mess - it takes employees 4+ weeks to receive expense reimbursements (money that they have already fronted out of their own pockets), payroll department is a myth, benefits administration is disorganized and the performance appraisal process is a nightmare that you just can't wake yourself up from. If I could turn back time, I would have definitely re-considered joining TCS America.
