There exists a paucity of reasons for one to harbor any affection for this company.

Dislikes

In the realm of leadership, an unfortunate dearth of excellence prevails. Those entrusted with stewardship display a regrettable lack of proficiency. The delicate equilibrium between professional duties and personal well-being appears conspicuously absent. One might employ rather unsavoury language to describe the situation,going so far as to term it a lamentable quagmire. To add to the disquiet,official expenses remain unrequited. A discernible strategic void looms large, overshadowed by and excess of unproductive meetings. Regrettable, there exists a palpable deficiency in both reverence for and comprehension of the intricate artistry of software engineering. The product teams, it seems,are preoccupied with internal political machinations,harbouring a desire for its misfortune. The situation unfolds like an incessant and disconcerting game of musical chairs within the realm of assigning blame. Strategic vision and effective communication elude this establishment,preventing those they've engaged from executing their roles effectively. To put it mildly,it is disheartening abyss. One might even facetiously remark that the 'H' in HR has been rendered redundant....Read More

In recent times, the HR department has taken commendable strides in enhancing employee engagement. Their proactive approach extends to orchestrating dialogues between top-tier leaders and staff. Furthermore, their efforts have borne fruit in the recruitment of highly skilled individuals. This positive trajectory suggests that the HRdepartment should undoubtedly persist with their current initiatives....Read More

However, the organization faces the repercussions of inadequate planning and the setting of unattainable objectives. This lack of foresight necessitates a disappointing outcome - the squandering of a long-anticipated extended weekend. In an attempt to offset the absence of well-structured strategies from leadership, another long weekend of 2023 is poised to slip through unproductive hands. Predominantly, the senior management's inclination is to summon developers and team members at a moment's notice, irrespective of their pre-existing personal commitments, to facilitate urgent production deployments. Regrettably, this practice is perpetuated without any consideration for prior engagements. This forthcoming weekend, during the extended Independence Day long off, is destined to echo the same narrative. Numerous colleagues, both from within the company and external vendors, would have strategically allocated this time for personal pursuits. Existing literature on program and project management failures consistently underscores the importance of evading such pitfalls. Emphasizing the significance of gauging team bandwidth and building in task buffers, this guidance is regrettably disregarded here. Instead, the prevailing approach entails arbitrarily assigning deadlines and then coercing teams to fit intricate plans into these unyielding timelines. Consequently, teams find themselves compelled to toil late hours and relinquish weekends to align with this ill-conceived PLAN - an acronym emblematic of Poor, Loose, Ambiguous, and Non-realistic expectations - emblematic of the prevailing ethos within the concerned office....Read More

You get to travel a lot. And if you are at some level, you can enjoy Taj stays.

Dislikes

Very demotivating place to work. No one cares on how people are growing, what re the challenges they are facing. Even the HR department has no control on what's going on. In last 3 years, inha e seen teams working on atleast 4 to 10 weekend days in a month. And if you are not working, you are asked to move out ( sugar-coated - don't come to office from Monday). If HR wants to have some meetings, this will come to them from multiple people. The product has no vision , the releases are all screwed up , as there is no prioritisation, no planning. Even minor release are delayed by 2 to 3 months. And after delays, they are just thrown to users. With high number of defects put under the carpet. There are NO processes at all, from requirements to planning to execution. Commitments ar...Read More

Job security due to Tata brand. Nothing more positive about this. Most of the people are just for Tata brand. HR and senior management will boast a lot about company during interview process, but once you join you will realise they have no clue of what they are doing.

Dislikes

- Yes boss culture - No vision - Less salary compared to market - long hierarchy - No sync between tech and product. After CTO left, company is clueless. Changing tech stack every month.

Job security but you will be taken as granted

One of the most noticeable issues I encountered at TDL was a perceived lack of integrity and professionalism in relation to performance appraisals. Unfortunately, the company's management consistently failed to deliver appraisals on time, leaving employees in a state of perpetual uncertainty. Moreover, promised appraisal dates were frequently changed without adequate explanations, causing further frustration and a lack of trust in the company's commitment to its workforce. Such unreliable practices create an atmosphere of doubt and demotivation, ultimately hindering employee growth and development. Furthermore, it was disheartening to observe that Tata Digital appeared to take its employees for granted. Despite the dedicated time, effort, and skills invested by employees to contribute to the company's success, they were often treated as mere dispensable assets. The company seemed to disregard the importance of recognizing and appreciating the hard work put forth by its workforce. This lack of acknowledgment can leave employees feeling undervalued and disengaged, severely impacting overall morale within the organization. Additionally, it became painfully apparent that TDL demonstrated a form of favoritism towards certain employees. This preferential treatment was evident through the job portal, where select individuals seemed to receive special privileges and opportunities that were not available to the rest of the employees. Such biased practices create a toxic work environment and erode trust among the staff, fostering resentment and a sense of inequality. This form of favoritism is detrimental to teamwork, collaboration, and the overall harmony of the workplace. In conclusion, my experience with Tata Digital has been marred by consistent delays in appraisals, a lack of appreciation for hardworking employees, and the blatant display of favoritism. These issues not only hindered my personal growth and motivation but also left a lasting negative impression on my overall experience with the company. I would kindly caution prospective employees to thoroughly consider these aspects before making a decision to join Tata Digital Limited....Read More

1. Work culture - everyone is a delivery manager. No one knows what work is to be done, how it is to be done. Employees are questioned whole taking their own leaves. Managers can be on leave for months, but we need to give explanations for 2 days leaves as well 2. Leadership - no respect for employees. Employees are considered labourers. 3. HR - nothing related to employee welfare is done by the HRs. They are just an extension of management. They are merely puppets to managers...Read More

The Only Best thing is the Tata Brand and perks associated with discounts at Tata Brands.

Dislikes

If everything is the word, it'll be appropriate. - Leadership thinks we are a sales firm, and engineers are asked to achieve target. - No scope of Learning and Development. - Work Life Balance is a myth. - Taking leaves even if earned leaves is a task. - Sick leaves are considered a sin. - 14+ hrs everyday is a norm and weekends andholidays are considered as work days. - Company has no vision and is in the business of white labelling other tata brands and brands them as Tata Neu. - Top Heads have absolutely no clarity on app performance rather think only way to make revenue is to be a marketer. - Everyday your attendance is tracked and constant micromanagement from leads....Read More

It is a Tata company, so it continues to attract some good people too.

Dislikes

The culture is quite poor. While the new CEO seems to have made efforts to change things, the overall work culture still isn't great, as a lot of the previous leadership continue. Hope Ratan Tata's passing, makes people remember his spirit and values, and what it means to be a Tata company. Right now, I guess I'm not sure if we can say that we are.
