Pros

When my project ended on one project, they kept me on and found me a new (though not a good fit) project to work on They are flexible with work/life balance

Cons

You are just a body to them, they don't look for a good fit in jobs, they will put their PMs anywhere, even if the person has no experience. They will give you one salary rate, then decrease it, then tell you a significant chunk is for the performance award at the end of the year, then they don't give it to you There is an expectation to not just do the job (which contract work with a different company), but also to do extra work for TCS business

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.
