Pros

Moderate work load, little hectic only during build and test phases. Opportunity to learn all the latest technologies. I went for an interview with another leading company where they were actually using some outdated technologies. Recognition : If you really work hard it will be surely recognized. Diversity in work culture and at the same time you ll find people from same Hometown . You dont get too much bogged down with work. Proper work - life balance.

Cons

There are lot of fields/opportunities available, but you cannot choose them so liberally. If you are in right place by default it will be really good. Else sometimes you will be made to work where you are not interested. Mobility inside TCS is really difficult. Resource Managers are really tough to handle. Employee rating/appraisal - not a transparent one. Too much of a game there. You never really know what will happen with your appraisal. Normalization - curve fitting too much of politics there. Salary sometime you fell its not sufficient.

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.
