Pros

Good for average achievers. Even if you lack skill or you have lost your touch you can still happily bide your time here. No questions will be asked. Starting Salry upto average Indian IT industry standard. Great place to spend your pre-retirement time.

Cons

Very little scope for software development activities. Most projects are of support, testing nature. Lots of monotonous and not any takers kind of jobs. The work environment varies widely between projects.(ranging from extremely bad...to ok) Very little difference between mediocre or high performer. Positions that suit high performance are available but too few

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.
