Pros

It's funny that Glassdoor makes you enter PROS even if their aren't any!

Cons

Company is too big to effectively and efficiently create quality products. Organized chaos that forces the employees to work their fingers to the bone in an attempt to meet deadlines. What makes this worse is the outsourcing of IT projects to a 3rd tier Indian company. Company claims to be diverse but they weigh heavily on the minority side, often laying off people with years of experience while hiring right out of college "experts". Leadership has a "steady as she goes" mentality that results in broken technology, lingering IT projects and budget overruns. Infrastructure projects that are managed by IT outsourced Indian labor are ineffective and awkward. TCS is in over their head and their inability to manage projects are examples of that, however, no manager raises concern. Benefits are horrible. Very expensive, complicated and poor coverage. The benefits costs are calculated on how much money you make. Lower payed employees pay less for health coverage. Coverage is mediocre at best.
