Pros

The work timings are completely flexible. There is a night drop option easily available after 11:00 pm. Also, since it is in Kolkata, it has a laid back attitude. The salary is not great but comparable to SWITCH companies (oops, since Satyam is no more -- it is WITCH companies).

Cons

No recognition to good work. Lots of politics at play. Senior management is very old and recognize loyalty more than contribution. employee preferences can be ofter overruled.

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.
