Pros

Okayish package, good clients, brand name, medical policy

Cons

Poor managers who are after personal gains, lack of knowledge of mid level managers, dont know how to handle clients sometimes, escalations against managers are suppressed and the client is made to look like a troublemaker inside TCS whereas the truth is the TCS manager is incompetent. And if the same client however has a good rapport with one of his/her team members, it becomes a living hell for the TM as if because of him/her, the manager's image is tarnished or as if we are colluding with clients to make him/her look ad.

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.
