Dislikes

While Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is a respected organization with many positives, there are several aspects that need significant improvement to ensure a better employee experience. One of the most concerning issues is the internal politics, particularly among senior management. It is often observed that individuals from South Indian backgrounds dominate leadership roles and tend to show favoritism towards others from similar regions. This creates a sense of bias and unfairness, which can be highly demotivating for employees from other regions. Merit and performance should always take precedence, but these practices sometimes overshadow the company’s otherwise professional environment. This regional bias restricts the diversity of thought and innovation that a global company like TCS should ideally promote. Another major drawback is the prevalence of a close-minded approach among certain leaders and teams. Many in senior positions are resistant to change and prefer sticking to traditional processes, even when more efficient or innovative solutions are proposed. This rigidity hampers growth opportunities for employees who wish to bring fresh ideas to the table, making them feel undervalued and restricted. It also slows down the company’s ability to adapt to new market trends and technologies, which can have long-term implications. The company’s 90-day notice period is another significant challenge. While it may be justified from a business continuity perspective, it poses considerable difficulties for employees seeking new opportunities. Many companies prefer candidates with shorter notice periods, and this extended timeframe can result in lost opportunities for growth outside of TCS. The rigid enforcement of this policy often leaves employees feeling trapped, especially if they are already disillusioned with other aspects of the job. Compensation is another area where TCS falls short. The pay structure is often not competitive with industry standards, and increments are minimal despite years of service and consistent performance. For a company of TCS’s stature, employees expect better rewards for their efforts. Low pay, coupled with the high demands of client projects, often leads to dissatisfaction, especially when compared to peers in other organizations. Promotions at TCS are another pain point. The process is slow and lacks transparency, making it difficult for employees to plan their career progression. Despite meeting performance expectations, many employees find themselves stuck in the same role for years, waiting for a long-overdue promotion. This delay not only affects morale but also makes it hard for employees to stay motivated and committed to the organization in the long term. In conclusion, while TCS offers stability and learning opportunities, the issues of regional favoritism, resistance to change, long notice periods, low compensation, and delayed promotions overshadow the positives. Addressing these concerns would greatly improve the employee experience, foster a more inclusive and innovative workplace, and help TCS retain its talented workforce in an increasingly competitive industry....Read More

Any employee can balance their work and life while working in TCS. Though this thing doesn't matter for most of employees now a days, but it really matters when it comes to your mental well being. And most of the IT companies are promoting toxic work culture but not TCS.

Dislikes

Salary and Promotions are too low/slow which doesn't give enough motivation to work and grow by being in TCS for longer period.
