Pros

Work-life balance Medical coverage for parents Onsite Longer you stay, bigger you become in TCS and benefits(monetary+personal) shall come automatically..but you have to be good in politics and making connections with powerful guys.

Cons

Salary is less but you can equalize it with onsite if you are lucky. Too many processes and bureaucracy Politics increases many fold as you move into management. Cheap policies like getting rid of paper napkins in restrooms etc for cost cutting. Lack of verbal appreciation & lot of favoritism

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.
