Pros

TCS is a global organization - has big aspirations to be "Top 10 by 2010." The culture here is very accommodating. If you need time off to visit family in India or take care of a family member, take it, no questions asked. Leave without pay is also offered, but only to expatriates.

Cons

Too many politics across all directions of the organization. Decisions do not happen in a timely fashion, and if they do happen they take place in a vaccum. Sadly, there is an "us" vs. "them" mentality. It is an unspoken rule that Indian employees receive better treatment than the local hires hired in the US. Internal processes are a mess - it takes employees 4+ weeks to receive expense reimbursements (money that they have already fronted out of their own pockets), payroll department is a myth, benefits administration is disorganized and the performance appraisal process is a nightmare that you just can't wake yourself up from. If I could turn back time, I would have definitely re-considered joining TCS America.

Pros

NIL . Do not hold your expectations too high when job was to offer to you by their consultancy . Wait till a confirmation and letter of employment was given ( Read their contract properly before signing ) . Empty promises .

Cons

I would like to share my feedback and concerns regarding the HR coordination consultancy services. While I appreciate the efforts made by the team, I have experienced significant delays in responses and a lack of clarity in communication, which have caused inconvenience and confusion. Additionally, there seems to be a gap in understanding the specific requirements of the roles, leading to mismatched candidate recommendations. I urge the consultancy to improve their communication processes, enhance their understanding of client needs, and ensure timely and efficient service delivery to foster better client relationships and satisfaction.

Pros

Reliable paycheck; great pay in relation to service IT roles, bad pay in relation to product IT roles. Work life balance is great if you get a good client Tons of resources available to learn new skills for free They will pay for certifications if they are relevant to current role Tons of different industries to work in Basically good first gig out of university to get your feet under you, earn some certs, and figure out what you want to do for the longer term. It's a good gig if you're currently unemployed and need a reliable paycheck ASAP.

Cons

If they can't find you a client you have to move to new client location or be terminated; relocation bonus is not enough to cover (they give you about $2000 depending on how far/COL) There is NO personal career development from their end; performance review results are seemingly random (this is what your yearly raise is based on). You may have 5 stars on every individual attribute but be given a 2/5 overall, leading to a poor raise. There are many poor clients with poor teams, if you get put on one of these accounts your best bet is to ask to be released and try again. You can be released from client at any time and have to move cities/states for a new one Not a good gig for someone looking to immediately advance their career. Not good for someone looking for a "forever home"
