Nothing to like in TCS. It feels like a prison.
Dislikes
Management and HR is composed of the cruelest people I know. Company culture is extremely poor, Merit is ignored and sycophancy is rewarded. Every manager is a clueless, gutless, selfish egotist who is willing to destroy anyone (including the company itself) to stroke his ego.

The working culture of highly seniors like 12-15 years of experience candidates are still same on current time. They didn't teach the newly freshers candidates how to contribute,they just put work pressure on them (most of the managers doing the same on freasher).
Dislikes
The salary policy , project allocation systems, and also the managers. The working Hours are horrible like ,for me Iam working on morning 6 am to evening 7pm and still my managers shouting at me for the issues I am not able to solve because it a new thing for me and my skills doesn't match to the project requirements, so, I am struggling.

It's a eco friendly campus, I was working in Pune hinjwadi. If we have time we can utilise the ground or invest our time in playing games or gym but completely depends on work and our project. It's good for working mothers but if your manager doesn't support you there will not be any work life balance. Other than job security/campus I didn't see anything great about TCS
Job security - Excellent
Dislikes
There is a very minimal hike and no promotion nor growth. TCS is no more employee friendly.
We have to go office all 5 days which is hell these days.... there is no support and policies are name sake but what ever project decide employees should follow.

TCS is not a employee friendly company. If you show them your capable to handle any work, they won't elevate or give you additional responsibilities simply ask you to to do same task repeatedly and won't release you when you want to move for any other technology or domain after working so many years in same project. It depends on your manager and project management.
Variable pay is mysterious. It depends not based on your performance, depends on entire unit your associated with....Read More

It is highly advisable to exercise caution when dealing with TCS's HR. While HR Business Partners (HRBPs) are presented as an independent vertical, in reality, they function as enablers of senior management’s decisions rather than advocates for employees. The higher management, particularly within PS India (Indian projects), often exhibits unprofessional behavior—marked by arrogance, a lack of basic courtesy, and an unreasonable approach.
During my initial tenure at TCS, I was unfamiliar with certain company policies. I was instructed to arrange self-funded travel with an assurance of reimbursement, only to later be denied repayment on the grounds of policy non-compliance. Shockingly, this refusal came after a whole year of persistent follow-ups, highlighting not only a lack of accountability but also a disregard for employee welfare—whether mental, emotional, or financial. Meanwhile, HR remained passively copied on emails yet entirely absent when it came to actual support....Read More

Work culture is amazing. Work life balance is also great. But with someone like me who needs work and wants to constantly learn, tcs wasn’t the place to start. It’s good for mid level careers, not for freshers.

There is Nothing to like here.
Dislikes
Manager shouts at you and humiliates you in front of others. They load you with too much work which takes 12 hrs of working in the weekdays and also in weekends. There is favoritism so you will have to also take up the work of people who do not work and happily butter manager for a living. It is a very toxic workplace. They keep 5 lpa as your variable pay and hardly pay 20 percent of that so your ctc is reduced by 4lpa straightway. Hike is 1 - 2 percent annually. They do not maintain any hygiene in the canteens and there are flies and cats and dogs roaming around. Bathrooms are dirty and so is the drinking water. You will never get promotion here....Read More
