Pros

They pay very competitive salaries. If salary is the most important thing to you, this is the place to be.

Cons

Corporate culture is extremely difficult to navigate at times, and downright impossible at others. Administrative processes for things like travel and expenses are very backward and filled with needless bureaucracy. Senior leadership is often able to get away with impressively disrespectful behavior. Company is still trying to find its way in the USA.

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.
