Side-by-side comparison

Ernst & Young U.S. LLP vs TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED

A direct H-1B sponsorship comparison built from the same DOL Labor Condition Application data that drives every page on H1B Report. Total filings, outcome rates, top occupations and yearly demand side-by-side.

Summary

Ernst & Young U.S. LLP (New Jersey) and TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED (Maryland) are among the largest H-1B sponsors in the United States. Together they account for nearly 200,000 filings since 2010, reflecting their heavy reliance on temporary skilled visa sponsorship.

TCS files significantly more H-1B applications—126,291 total compared to EY's 68,387—making it the higher-volume sponsor. However, EY achieves a much higher certification rate at 38.2% versus TCS's 17.21%, indicating that a larger share of EY's applications successfully receive Labor Condition Application approval. Both sponsors maintain very low denial rates (EY at 0.04%, TCS at 0.01%), suggesting strong compliance with visa requirements.

The contrast reflects different business models: TCS uses H-1B sponsorship as a core staffing strategy with high application volume, while EY's lower filing count paired with higher certification efficiency suggests more selective, outcome-focused visa usage. Both have maintained active H-1B programs across the entire 2010–2026 period.
