Pros

1) There are very good oppty's becoz of the size of the company. 2) Varied skills can be developed becoz of the breadth of the services TCS offers. 3) Very good brand name becoz of TATA group association 4) Exposure to different cultures etc becoz of Projects all across the globe. Employees get lot of onsite oppurtunities.

Cons

1) Extremely Bureaucratic in nature 2) Non-transparent senior management 3) Extremely weak and incompetent senior management and leadership. Ex: Recent handling of re-org and disastrous effect it has had on our Q4 2007-08 and Q1 2008-09 4) No concept of knowledge and competency development, post ILP ( Initial Learning Program) 5) Integration of lateral hires in middle mgmt and senior mgmt grade is extremely weak 6)Decision making finally is done by one person making a mockery of internal governance structure and questioning the competency of all managers. 7) Non-Existent HR - No room for conflict mgmt

Pros

Wonderful people, smart and capable. Very warm hearted and sweet associates.

Cons

I am always the last person to know what is happening in the company. The is no training when you come on board, it is learn by the seat of your pants...and as an American working for an Indian company, this proved challenging, although i can now say I have done a good job of absorbing and understanding the corporate culture here at TCS. I am always alone....i miss having personal daily relationships....

Pros

It is hard to think of 'best' reasons other than it being a stepping stone to better opportunities.

Cons

Worst HR Dept you can imagine. You can expect no response to your emails or phone calls, and this applies to all levels of the organization (not just HR). It is part of the culture. Compensation is much lower than peers, lack of transperancy in performance reviews, quality of management in some organizational units is of surprisingly low standards.
