Pros

Job Security - Firing is the last thing you will face. Even the least competent person can find a post on which they can survive. Basically a Private Government job type. Less pressure of work. Sometimes Flexibility.

Cons

Least learning - You won't learn much skills to land a job elsewhere as majority are support based jobs for engineers Worst compensation - Salary provided for the post is less than the industry (and worst for freshers). Increment is a joke. No growth of career. You won't get to work in the domain you want 8/10 times. Hence you will be Jack of all trades, master of none which affects you once you cross 6 years of total work experience as prospective employers expect expertise in something which you cannot learn here due to constant random project change forced upon you.

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.
