Pros

- Good pay because they know that’s the only way they can keep you. - A lot of vacation; bc there’s no way to track it.

Cons

Where do I start? - Complete lack of respect for employees and their relationships with the client. - Managament will constantly try to get free work out of you next to your client’s needs. - If you don’t set boundaries they will call you in all hours of the night. - Managers wait till the last second every time, literally down to the last hour. - Managers are” yes men to executive power” and offload all the burden to employees, without even compliments - Managers will take your work and never report the findings; leaving you with no way to self evaluate your performance. - TCS itself from an administration is totally 100% useless; good luck opening your email as it will never work - It takes 6 months to get a computer. - It takes an additional 1-3 months to get software; leaving you the only option to buy and try to get reimbursed which will never happen either - You’ll never see your bonus; they’ll tell you it comes after 6 months and then it’ll change to 8, then 10, then a year passes.... -

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.
