Pros

The life-long friendships I have made with past and present employees.

Cons

The pay is awful. You're not rewarded for your hard work. A 3% salary raise is an insult to our efforts. TCS does not offer professional growth to loyal employees. The CEO has destroyed the company culture. No work-life balance, so if you have a family, you will receive points on a scale of 5 for missing work due to doctor appointments, illnesses, extra curricular activities for children, etc. Employees in higher ranked positions will gossip to and about you. If you have pending diagnosis for serious illness and take FMLA, your manager/ TCS and insurance provider will fail you causing you to lose your job.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
