Pros

Learning.But this would require that you land up in a project where there are good technologies used.Then you may be able to learn things.But yes learning might have to be self managed as most of the middle level managers are technically zero.

Cons

Lots of downsides. Appraisal is a mere eyewash.Not at all transparent. No recognition given for the efforts you put in. Really bad management. Your immediate middle level managers are white elephants.Technically incompetent people and don't have management skills.They just are after extracting the work from you without giving any recognition or appreciation for your efforts.

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.
