Do not join TCS Internal IT unit ever, very fraud management and RSDO for Delhi Branch, they are poison for Employees. Specially Subir Mukherjee, Ajita Varma, Rachit Goel. They will bite you like snake, never join this unit. After completing their work, they will never identify who are you, toxic work environment and no growth at all.

In TCS you have flexibility....you can choose projects, reject projects, learn lot of things through various learning platforms. Though during project, sometimes managing learning is an uphill task. Low salaries for long timers is a big drawback. It boasts of being agile but does not use agile for running its own day to day operations. Resourcing is in a big time mess, people working on project have to invest a lot of time in resourcing, there's no dedicated team within the projects ( even projects as large as with 300 people). Quarterly bonus is almost certain to be zero at 12+ yr experience levels. Old school mentality still exists in TCS, where wearing Jeans is a crime on weekdays. Male employees still do not get official paternity leave ( when needed they apply other available leaves)...Read More

Dislikes

Low salaries Late night meetings Leadership vaccum, super seniors are like arrogant bosses, they cannot toleryone word against their decisions. Quarterly bonus is virtually non existent at 13+ yr experience levels

Good work culture ( if one does not want to work ). One can spend complete career without working. One can deny work by telling lack of bandwidth or lack of experience. TCS has tie up with most training platforms so one learn a lot. If you have good relation with seniors then chances are there for onsite oppurtunity.

Dislikes

No appreciation for project work completion and hardly any promotion or salary hike. Every project manager amd partner will give a ladoo of onsite oppurtunity to everyone in the project to motivate as they are helpless due to low pay and low yearly appreciation of associates. TCS is mostly concentrated on AMS and BAU projects so chances are less to get a role in consulting or implementation project. ( its mostly like tata customer service) No mapping of career aspiration, skillset or education qualification. Senior are mostly concerned about incoming revenue and will tag to any project as long as revenue from client is coming. Getting out of project one does not like is very difficult without proper connection or if the project does not finish. No proper training before onboading, Partners try to skill associates on clients resources after onboarding to save money....Read More

1.Hire talent with skills and giving roles which doesn't suite their skillset and de-skill them. 2. Never promotes the employee who contributes. 3. Only one financial year you will be recognised or given A band and in upcoming years either you work or not there won't be any recognition. 4. They will set some rules and exceptions but the Hr and lead or managers won't follow or adhere to it only people below C3 has to follow and sometimes approvals were not approved on time which impacts cut down in employees salaries and HR or accounts or finance will do nothing about it and say it as employees responsibilities. 4. Everything here is employees responsibilities... if work environment is poor , washroom is dirty or network is poor or access door has issue or personal belongings stolen. Etc... nobody here is helpout anyone. Take self care or leave it. 5. Some people in bech will do fun activities like games, dance and stuff and only they will enjoy . Rest of the ppl watch and walk away. Just to showcase outside world. 6. In the name of onsite opportunity they will hire and cheat the employees 7. They will ask you to upskilled but won't let you to utilise the skill. 8. They will brag you to do some mandatory course again and again which is of no use. Just to some case they follow proceeding and for their auditing purpose. 9. They will ask you to log attendance in tcs portal , tcs excel sheet , client portal, client excel and client network excel for tcs reference. 10. Lot of politics in hikes , whatever you do you will be fooled at the end. 11. Restrictions in leave though you have leave balance. And lot more...Read More

Peers are helpful as all are suffering from one thing underpaid and flexible time, clean campus.

Dislikes

Management is worse. Theur managers are that much skilled they put you in testing team if you are a developer. I heard if you get D band then your CTC will be reduced with some percentage. RMG is pathetic, thier only intention is to insult people and forced people to make them resign

Likes

Great work culture, good environment for networking and maintaining quality work life balance, with time and effort your work can get recognised and your presence and work points can easily reach to higher management at ease, here in the banking and finance unit it is consistently taking up and working on new technologies, being a strong competitor in the software product market.

Dislikes

Associate is required to rely on self learning for growth, appraisal and benefits are not up to market standards.

Likes

Best company to work with complete job satisfaction work and family life balance is well maintained.

Dislikes

Biggest drawback of the company is no-rehiring policy this policy refrains pulling back the employees who have left the organisation and want to rejoin the organisation I wish if this policy would be abrogated I would be very happy to rejoin. Salary increment is quite slow in pace that is again a pain point it could get little better.

Likes

Job Security Skill Development Comfort zone No work pressure Friendly environment

Likes
