TCS provides employment to thousands of youth every year and the job is secure. If you are lucky and interested, you will get onsite opportunities, which is significantly higher than other service based IT firms. Other than these three points and the brand name, nothing much to like about.
Dislikes
This is going to be a long one. Brace yourselves!!.
When TCS hire thousands of people in bulk, it has its own pros and cons. While lot of un-employed youth get's employment opportunity, the job though might not be something that you would be satisfied with. Most of the new hires are put in to Support jobs. Not that support jobs are bad in general. There are really good support jobs if you try in product based companies and Investment banks with good exposure to technologies and great work culture. But the support jobs in TCS are mostly Level 1, higher level jobs reserved to people who get opportunity to travel onsite.
Even developers do enhancement works. The real development is done by the employees of the client.
The pay scale is also not that great, just comparable with other service based companies.
Work life balance is poor as well. If you work in Support,
you might have to be available for night shifts and weekend works more than one's a month.
No team outings and other recreational activities.
Very rigid / non-flexible when it comes to requests from employees like re-location.
Unresponsive HR.
Access to newer technologies is very rare.
Laid back work culture, I would rate it as just better than government offices. Nothing much to learn and hence not a good place to start the career. It's a tailor-made company for people who are in their late 40's or early 50's who have achieved a lot in their career and now just wants to get some time off.
Since the employee count is more than 4 lakh, you'll have plenty of managers and usual office politics, bureaucracy and rampant micro-management.
If you are a fresher or someone just starting out, try to avoid TCS. You can join TCS later in your career after you have accomplished your goals.
If you have already joined TCS but you want some more excitement in your work, try to leave. This is not the place for you....Read More

Job security. Whatever happens, your job will be with you.
Dislikes
Appraisals are very bad, no matter how much good you are at your work, at the end the person who does not work and you will be given same 5% hike. Worst management. CTC of 5 year professional will be only 5LPA, if you want to shift to this company shift with very good hike.
