Likes

If you wish to have stable life and can work around with bit low salary then TCS is place for you. Before joining to TCS you should be clear that you might not get what you want here. Like if you are looking for proper devlopement projects.There are really less opportunities. Even if there are developement projects they will not give to fresher.Compensation is really less compared to other peers in Industry. If job security is your moto then TCS is best. Work life balance is excellent here.

Dislikes

Compensation revision is not good in TCS compared to other peers in industry. You need not be working on your skillset here always they may throw you in testing directly from core development.

Everyday learning something newz working on hot and cutting edge technologies even sometimes before the industry starts adapting. Work culture is good, people can maintain work-life balance. Job security seems to be the best here, unless you really mess up with the policies.

Dislikes

Sometimes work gets monotonous and you feel like you're not learning that much, it isn't as such a con, but it depends on an individual. Compensation is way less than available in the market. Even in the workplace, same experience people may be working with different compensation. I think they should reward more, but TCS has started on it, by providing opportunities in forms of tests, so I think they're improving.
