Pros

TCS is one of the unique workplaces because of: 1. Job Security 2. Brand (TATA) 3. Flexible working hours for maintaining work-life balance 4. One can always find time to work on his/her career aspirations(M.Tech, MS, MBA, Govt. Exams). At every TCS location, you can find multiple peaceful IRCs (libraries) 5. You can also apply for sabbatical and pursue higher education 6. High chances for getting onsite opportunities 7. Number of clubs for learning and growing in your interested area 8. Free access to Udemy, O'Reilly, Safari learning platforms. You can also register in advance and be a part of live learning sessions 9. You can connect with your HR and schedule a mentor session with any person of your choice at your location 10. Soft corner in getting interview calls from other IT companies for Job Opportunities 11. Access to Sports Arena (Lawn Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, etc.) 12. Access to Best Fitness Centre (GYM) + Trainers 13. Easy for anyone if they want to relocate to any other city as TCS is there in all metro cities in India 14. TCS has offices in 50+ countries, and if there is a requirement, you can also get a chance to work with those offices in other countries 15. You get to choose Project Domains of your choice (Telecom, Banking, etc.) and after choosing the domain, you can choose the project of your choice. It's up to you how to deal with RMGs - "Where there’s a will there’s a way" 16. 5 working days in a week and 32 leaves every year 17. Personally, I feel proud as whatever revenue gets generated, ample part of it goes to charity, social cause, TATA trust - cancer hospitals and you are one of the reasons for that. TCS is not just a corporation - It's culture and legacy.

Cons

1. Salary 2. Promotions 3. Annual Increments

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.
