To be a part of TCS was a great achievement in my life. The job security offered by the company is very good. The HR team was very much supportive to the employees as they cared for our welfare.
The job is very hectic, even though we are updating our time sheet as 9 hours,we used to work for 10 hours daily without any pay. Sometimes they use to make us work for 12 hours. The management is very poor as they don't care, if we are happy or not. The management just want their work to be done without noticing our welfare or evenwithout approving any urgent leaves. The worst thing is, we wont get any national holidays , even for Xmas we have to be in office....Read More

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.

The good thing about the TCS is that your job is totally secure and you’ll get much comfort as compared to other IT companies hence can balance your life here.
Promotion and appraisals are only the names here you will only get 3-5% increment/yr whether you perform well or not.

Learning Opportunities: TCS provides great chances for skill development and training. Work-Life Balance: Employees enjoy a flexible work environment that helps balance personal and professional life.
I don't have personal experiences or feelings, but I can tell you some common concerns people have about working at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). These might include long working hours, the pressure of meeting deadlines, and sometimes limited opportunities for career growth, depending on the role or location. However, these aspects can vary widely for each individual

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.

Best company to be at when you get 40+. I regret to join in my late 20s. Too much of learning scope. Easy to get abroad projects. Supportive team and very importantly, Best HRs. They call you by their own just by one Ping. No leaves issues. You can pickup the skills you want to learn and grow.
I am C3A here and been 2 years I am not getting my variable pay. Loosing 6LPA and difficult to get promotion.

You can have your work life balance easily as there is not much work pressure and you can take your time without having fear of losing a job.
With work life balance comes dark things basically not much salary even though if you would be doing a work of 2-3 people you will get salary as chiller here and promotions and hike is just a joke with maximum 6% yearly hike and no promotions till first 4 years.

TCS is really good in skill development of their employees. It gives lots of opportunities to develop employee skills and apply them as well
Few things such as yearly increment and promotions are bit tough and I would say not just fault of TCS market situation were like that after Covid-19

One of the biggest advantages of working at TCS is its strong job security. The company provides a stable work environment, even during uncertain market conditions. Employees can feel assured about long-term employment, which is a major plus. Additionally, TCS offers a well-structured work culture, global exposure, and opportunities to work with major clients across various industries.
Lack of Proper Recognition: Hard work is not always valued as much as personal connections with managers. Performance evaluations can be biased, making it harder for deserving employees to get promotions or salary hikes. Slow Career Growth: Compared to industry standards, career progression can be slow, and salary increments are often not competitive.
