Pros

Excellent job security and strong brand name in the IT industry Great work-life balance (especially compared to many service companies) Opportunities to work on automation testing, frameworks, and emerging tools like Playwright, Selenium, and CI/CD integrations Supportive teammates and approachable managers in most projects Exposure to large-scale enterprise clients and diverse domains (banking, insurance, etc.)

Cons

Salary growth and appraisal cycle can be slow compared to product-based companies Internal processes and approvals can sometimes be lengthy Depends heavily on the project — some projects use outdated tech stacks Limited flexibility to choose your preferred tools or frameworks in certain client-driven environments Promotions may take time and are often based on seniority rather than merit

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.
