Pros

Easy to crack interview, they just want to fill the position with a resource, they usually don’t need in depth subject knowledge, an easy company to join, with fair pay for the role (if you are getting hired in Canada and if they need you urgently, things are different if you are coming on an on-site assignment, they will rip you off ). They have a lot of clients so you will get work. They keep people on bench too, so, job is safe even when your mandate with a client gets over. Job safety is the best “Pro” here.

Cons

Bad management, no career growth, people spent years and years in buttering their bosses without success but they still do it. Senior management treats their teams very badly, no work life balance, cheap language is often used in the presence of wide audience just to show who is the boss. Too much favouritism. Most of people in senior management are still employed because TCS does not fire, they don’t bring any value to the company, just eat up the profits of those who really work.

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.
