Pros

It is a truly indian company. They try to bring about a sense of family among the associates in the company. They have wonderful people in the higher management who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Being part of the TATA family, you have an oppurtunity to participate in their TAS program, which is the best training ever for future managers.

Cons

Some where between the top most management and a regular associate, the really good changes that they try to implement, are lost. Its like the game "passing the secret", at the end more often than not, the last person to implement the change always does it wrong. I wish the mid level managers were atleast half as good as the top level: There would atleast be a little order in the company.

Pros

Possible chance of deputation to onsite client location getting a better pay than what you got in India. Some lucky ppl get to work in good technologies others are stuck with darned outdated maintenance projects. Once at onsite, lots of spare time and work only for 40 hrs and relax over the weekend.

Cons

Lots of politics, appraisals are biased, Immediate management not very competitive. Once you are stuck in a particular project, its next to impossible to get out of it unless you resign (or threaten to resign). Quality of work and learning has deteriorated a lot as people are not doing what they are supposed to do. In short, have a good relation with your immediate manager, then u get things done for you quickly.

Pros

onsite opportunities for trainees, diverse skillsets and domains, good for people upto 6 yrs of experience

Cons

TCS with its recent restructuring has shown that it should be called "Tamil Consultancy Services". Most of the ISU heads are south indians(read Tamilian or have a Chennai affiliation). This leaves folks from Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata by the wayside. New management is drunk on the newfound power and are wielding it in a way that anyone who does not align with them does not find a place within the structure. In fact the new ISU structure has only caused a lot of good people to leave TCS. God help the customers now.. Also where TCS sucks is in its appreciation for loyalty. Salaries are not on par with the city that you stay in. It also appears that the more you stay in TCS the less you are appreciated. There is no plan to assimilate the foreign hires and they all quit the moment they find a better opportunity.
