Pros

Thats not the concept in tcs. The only pro is, you will not learn anything even spending years here. This is benefecial because in next job you have lots of options to explore. You are not limited to one thing you worked on.

Cons

TCS is essentially a glorified sweatshop where management treats employees like replaceable line items rather than human beings. The office is a productivity graveyard—you are chained to a desk for 9+ hours of 'mandatory' face time that achieves nothing but burnout, only to be dragged back in on weekends to fix messes caused by poor planning. There is zero investment in the employee experience; they provide no transport, no decent food, and a complete absence of any workplace culture beyond survival. It is an environment of pure stagnation, where your only reward for hard work is a massive pile of more work and a 90-day notice period that feels more like a prison sentence than a professional agreement

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.
