The Hidden Struggles of Aspiring IT Professionals: How TCS Policies Block Talented Candidates 1. Age and Gap Year Restrictions Limit Opportunities for Skilled Candidates Many candidates with gaps or over a certain age, who may be just as skilled or even more so than recent graduates, are excluded due to strict criteria that don’t consider personal circumstances or late-career transitions. 2. Impractical Marks Requirements in 10+2 Exams Low scores from school years, which may not reflect current skills or potential, can prevent even highly talented programmers from getting a foot in the door. This limits the talent pool and penalizes individuals for past academic performance unrelated to current job roles. 3. Rigid Policies Overlook Hard-Earned Experience from Non-IT Backgrounds Candidates switching to IT from other fields often bring unique insights and dedication, yet restrictive entry-level policies mean they struggle to get interviews, regardless of their actual programming knowledge or experience. 4. Mismatch of Technology Skills Between Small and Large Companies Candidates with IT experience in smaller companies often have a harder time transitioning to MNCs due to differing tech stacks, which larger firms don’t take into account when evaluating experience, even when candidates are willing to start at entry-level. 5. Corporate Policies Fail to Recognize Life’s Unpredictable Nature Life circumstances vary, and setbacks can happen to anyone. By not considering this, policies end up eliminating otherwise qualified candidates who are ready to contribute, thus stifling diversity and missing out on potential....Read More

70% projects are support projects. If you join as a fresher you have to suffer in career because you dream for good project and growth in career but you get support projects you can't learn new technologies except corporate culture. I will suggest to those who think to get into TCS as fresher I will not recommend strongly, as a experienced I will strongly suggest to join in TCS.

No ethics, integrity at senior level. Freshers are treated like resources. Senior's are egoistic and do manipulative tactics at freshers. More importance is given to non-skilled employee than skilled one. Veg ambience in regional places is not good. There is biasness and discrimination in regional offices.

Cab drivers behave unprofessionally toward employees. • Managers have an unsupportive and demanding approach toward their teams. • HR is unhelpful and often ghosts employees. • Unrealistic expectations, where a single person is expected to handle everything without support. • No teamwork, as colleagues are unwilling to assist. • Favoritism is prevalent, affecting workplace dynamics.
