Pros

onsite opportunities if u are lucky

Cons

TCS is top heavy. There was hardly much chance for career growth. In Kolkata TCS was easily the biggest and oldest s/w company - so the easily the most senior people were to be found there. TCS was considered to be a "safe" employer - though recent developments have junked that notion. So what happened was that attrition out of tcs kolkata was very low - which meant that career growth was very limited due to people not moving out. Also the it helped if you were connected to the right people - you needed to have the right connections to get an onsite opportunity.

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.
