Pros

Struggle to think of any

Cons

I was mostly ignored for the first 3 months working here with nothing to do. Onboarding experience was awful. Poor pay. Zero respect for any work life balance. Very alienating experience as the only non-indian in my onshore UK project. Extremely poor management. Projects claim to follow agile working paradigm, however it is simply poorly managed chaos with the name agile slapped onto it. Rather than getting the right people for the job and developing in some structured methodology, management seemingly throw bodies at a project until it gets done.

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.
