Pros

Working from home and the company provided equipment.

Cons

1) Managers were not all on the same page. 2) One manager would tell you to do one thing, and then another would tell you to do something totally different, and then you would suffer the consequences. 3) Expected to work off the clock to do these "courses" that did not really matter or even pertain to the job you were doing. 4) Expected to maintain a total silent environment, which was hard to do seeing as you worked from home and kids were home during the pandemic doing virtual learning, or you had a spouse who did not work and could be heard in the background in completely different room, or you had pets and they could be heard barking or meowing. 5) You were expected to choose your job over your family (spouse/kids). 6) You were expected to take abuse from customers via phone calls. 7) You were expected to cancel important Dr. appointments (several of them were detrimental to one's health) 8) You were expected to miss important events at child's school (program they would perform in or their first school dance) **Number 8-is basically saying you were to be at these "meetings" that were after work hours where they would just goof-off and joke around instead of talking about important things, OR you were to do them courses that are referred to in Number 3**

Endless Confusion and Misdirection

Pros

Decent starting salary given the workload. Thorough training for people of varying skill levels.

Cons

Where do I begin with the cons? Communication is terrible at this company. You will have trouble understanding what is expected of you, how the organization functions, and even who your direct supervisor is. The training was thorough, as mentioned above, but so hopelessly disorganized and endlessly tedious. The employee portal and the internal admin services are total junk and completely disorganized. It takes an advanced degree to simply access your own tax information. Needlessly complex. I was hired to be a software engineer, that's what I'm qualified for and that's the career path I chose. Within TCS, you will be contacted by people looking to recruit you to internal contracts. I was contacted and subsequently misled about what I would actually be doing once I joined this project. I have not done a day of SWE work since joining TCS, and the project I joined instead had me clearing system administration tickets in a dashboard. My overall advice to anyone with little experience considering TCS as an entry point to the software industry: run. Run away from this company, it isn't worth it. You'll waste months of your life and probably gain little to no experience, making your job search after TCS even more difficult. Save yourself.
