      Pros

      Great Initial Training Program. Good opportunity for learning if put on the right project. Some people may be interested in onsite opportunities for the $.

      Cons

      Pay is really really bad. 90% of the people that I worked with were extremely incompetent who were (not surprisingly) satisfied with their job. Any decent engineer would get frustrated in just a couple of weeks. Management treats employee like a herd of cattle. Engineers are randomly put on projects. Employees have to work in shifts because there are not enough PCs or chairs for people to sit on! Barring a couple of projects, the work is very dull and boring. If you are billed by the client, good for you otherwise be prepared to spend long working hours.

      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.
