Pros

- Job security (feels like a government job) - Diversity & inclusion (Very very good) - Variety of projects - Pickup drop facility for employees - Huge prison like campus with no immediate access to the main road

Cons

- Onboarding process is cumbersome & stupid - They hire for a different position & delegate you on a different role altogether which is frustrating. - It takes 1-2-3 months for a new hire to get on board even if they're an immediate joiner. - They drop a message for laptop collection before confirm ID card status causing inconvenience for employees resulting in multiple visits. - HR is least bothered in addressing your issues. They'll listen to you but act indifferently. - Some of the projects are extremely stressful. The managers dont bother about the people & focus more on the project (deliverables are more imp). - Travelling to Hinjewadi office is hectic. You must be willing to sacrifice other activities & social life on weekdays to work with TCS. - Forget about work life balance. - Their gyms, parks, courts are useful only to bachelors who live in close vicinity. - Canteen is sub-standard - The entire campus feels like a prison once checked in. No photographs allowed (which is understandable) but they dont allow food items in big quantity from outside as well (which is bulls#*t) - Can list down many more points but I'm tired typing.

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.
