Pros

Minimum or no workload Flexible Working Hours Advance Salary and Medical assists 2.5% discount on all Tata outlets on any merchandise

Cons

Not at all good for Programmers Red tape-ism, for small issues like open source software and system maintenance you have to wait a lot. Worst pay scale in industry, even though the net profit of company is increasing from last 8-9 quarters they don't pay a survival forget about handsome salary Screwed up performance evaluation system Resource management Group doesn't even have a management within, suitable candidates are either unallocated or in support projects and people from non CS background are deployed on core technology development projects.

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.
