Message to Ambition box: please do not remove this post, I am not disclosing any confidential information nor am I abusing anyone. Very many people have been asked to leave the organisation just because the planning has not been good and that there were no checkpoints to see where we are heading to. This is not new for companies but here at Tata Digital , it was all written on the wall but the leadership kept on waiting to lay off talent. My worst ever decision of professional life was to join this company thinking that it’s a company of values, “The TATA”. Just because of a bunch of people this organisation has become a nightmare , for last 2 years there has not been a weekend when we have not worked. We are fine working but wrong people are put to lead the efforts. They don’t just manipulate the reports to leadership but also misguided their own teams working in the ground. I have myself heard one of the leaders saying “these people will get jobs in 2weeks”, before handing over the pink slips. The wrongs decisions of the tech and planning teams have put so many lives and families on risk. And for sure their curses will not let this app survive for more time. o many lives and families on risk. And for sure their curses will not let this app survive for more time....Read More

Good coworkers (excluding managers and lead).

It's a shame that TDL to be called as a TATA company. Most toxic office culture. Worst leadership team. The incompetence of top management and subsequent layer punishing employees at the lower level by forcing them to resign without any justification. Unplanned use of money on business travels in last 2-3 years. The appraisal system is very biased. The worst part is, whole year an employee worked under a manager but appraisal done by someone else who don't even know who are you. They expect employee will work on weekends without any comp off. This company is ruining Tata brand value....Read More

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

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

People being asked to resign voluntarily.

Surprised to see very few posts on the layoffs that are happening here. It was an ironic experience as the company bombards you now and then to adhere with Tata Ethics and boasts of the group's priorities on employee & societal welfare.

Absolutely Nothing

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

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.
