A good job to look for an actually good job - Software Engineer Tata Consultancy Services Employee Review

Pros

It was really easy to get a job here and it pays better than working at Walmart. Also the amount of work Tata has is really lacking, so you will inevitably encounter down time to search for a real software engineering position. You can also work on site at client locations across the country, just be prepared to do stuff totally unrelated to software engineering.

Cons

They lie, management is incompetent, working with people overseas is extremely frustrating especially when they don't read your emails or understand how to code.

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.
