Big and Complicated but I love it - Solution Architect Tata Consultancy Services Employee Review

Pros

I have found the management culture to be kind and supportive, for example when I was diagnosed with a serious health concern. There is an almost endless supply of training all provided through the remote Ultimatix system. The pay is good and everyone is friendly.

Cons

It is big and the customers are big. This means it is complex and can be political. You do not feel like you are changing the world. It is hard to find the right person. You are a very small cog in a machine and often feel like you are moving at snails pace and it wouldn't matter if you went away tomorrow. There are few people under 35. So don't work here if you want to change the world over night, but if you want stability and maybe make the world a little better in 20 years then try it.

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.
