Likes

Since it's a Tata company, you will have job security like no other company if you are in a permanent role. Work life balance is very good and if you are at Pune location, food and commute to office is free. Timings are also flexible and so is your role. As a GET you can get into whatever role you want to get into company and make a career out of it.

Dislikes

Salary is less than market, appraisal is bare minimum and the growth is very slow. Work environment is like semi government.

Likes

They offer competitive salary package. That’s all.

Dislikes

There’s no job satisfaction or personal growth. Enough toxic people up there in the management. So don’t expect any support. It’s all about billing. Also you need to complete a ton of courses and most of them are irrelevant or obsolete, so it just eat your valuable time. Most of the time we have to spend our personal time to do all these since there will be project deadlines.
