Job security, work life balance is good.
Appraisal pattern was horifing , favouriteism are there for Appraisal , RNR, work from home facility, company policy is against favouriteism under the Tata code of conduct but still it is very common in projects. Experience and talented employee get 3-4 % salary hike for YOY but favourite employee gets 7% hike minimum.

Disliking aspects of working at a company like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) 1. Salary and Appraisals: Many employees feel that the compensation is lower compared to industry standards, especially for freshers or those in junior roles. Increment percentages are often perceived as modest. 2. Limited Growth for Niche Skills: Some employees express concerns about the lack of opportunities to work on cutting-edge technologies or niche skills due to the nature of the projects. 3. Work-Life Balance: Depending on the project and client demands, maintaining work-life balance can be challenging. Long hours or high workloads may arise during critical phases. 4. Bureaucracy and Hierarchy: As a large organization, decision-making processes might feel slow and overly hierarchical to some employees. 5. Onsite Opportunities: The allocation of onsite roles can be highly competitive and dependent on project requirements, leading to dissatisfaction among those seeking international exposure. 6. Skill Utilization: Employees sometimes report being allocated to roles or projects that do not match their skill set, leading to stagnation or lack of job satisfaction. 7. Training Quality: While TCS offers extensive training programs, some employees feel these are too generic or insufficiently aligned with the latest industry trends. These issues aren't universal and vary greatly depending on the individual, the team, and the project. Many employees also appreciate TCS's job stability, reputation, and learning opportunities....Read More

My overall TCS experience is good. I learned lot of new things in a TCS. TCS gives opportunity to learn new technologies.
TCS is a service base company so maximum revenue they are earning from support projects. Fresher's expect more development project but maximum time fresher's get allocated to support projects.

The company maintains a perfect work life balance in some projects and have a good cultural path in each sectors. Makes us learning daily with variety of activities and educational programs.
Appraisals and promotions are given for the employees in average scale which makes the employees to think about jumping the company. Other than that its a very good company.

Worked at Tata Consultancy Services was as same as government jobs. Good culture, good people and environment. Overall TCS is my dream company from my college days and I got placed in campus
Since I had worked for a short period of time and released due to pregnancy. So I can't able to mention anything that disappointed me.

HR Policies, Reluctance towards upkilling, blind-eye towards employee ambition and career objectives. The biggest minus point is the salary which goes complete unrevised since a long time. Promotion and appraisal are very marginal.

TCS is a good organization. We can develop our skills , if we are working in projects as developer, and job security and culture is also stable.
The cons for this company is mainly salary and promotions. Salary will get increase 7% only if got 'A' rating also. Promotions will come based on colabaration with the managers and project.

No likes I've been stich in this company, this kind of sucks. They don't give you proper hike not even 10per for a year. No fecility in office, no tea or coffee vending machine, it's like 3 machine for 14 story office building at itpl banglore. No tissue paper in toilet. But they want you to work from office

Performance bonus they deduct lakhs of rupees in CTC and pay only 33% of our money for for no reason. In TCS, performance bonus is not dependent on employee performance neither company performance. It's depend on top management. Simply they show the amount in CTC which nowhere will be getting to employees. We will not be getting theright answer from HR. There is no proper time management to managers or leads. It's more like govt company. Who require WFH, they keep getting for silly reasons. For genuine medical resons, mid level and jr. Levels they won't be getting. There is no punch-in and punch-out time tracking of employees....Read More

I would never advise any young job seeker to work in such an institution. The experience I had with TCS was horrible and it had an adverse effect on my life. I was shocked at the company's behaviour regarding their female employee's well-being, as I never expected this out of such an esteemed and respected foundation like TATA.
