The aesthetics of the company was good. The food was of top quality. Basic hygiene such as washrooms etc were properly maintained. Company has a good relationship with its client whether it's domestic or international clients.

Dislikes

The biggest weakness of TCS is the very elitist mindset with which it chooses to mistreat its employees with. There are several factors and incidents which influenced and led me to abscond this so called 'Prestigious' company within a month of joining. Let's discuss the factors with point by point. 1. The good old office politics :Everything is related to one word 'Elitism'. Unfortunately during my time at TCS I was part of a team that simply did not care about my mental health, socio economic status and financial well being. Lack of proper sleep and constant bickering by my seniors led me to become an anxiety driven individual within a month of joining the company. Nearly all of the male seniors like trainers and team leaders ridiculed the my male colleagues and tried to touch or flirt inappropriately to my female colleagues which chose to maintan silence in worry of their jobs being lost from such a 'Prestigious' company. The female management was aware but chose to ignore as usual. 2. Ridiculous dressing policy : I have worked and interviewed several MNC in my life. Companies such as Accenture allow a semi formal attire in their workspace as long as it is not revealing and is appropriate. TCS being the elitist that it is made it a compulsion for me to wear the most mundane attire that anyone could wear and too from day 1. At the time my closet only had a handful of formal attires so I couldn't wear formal clothes on all working days because it took time for the clothes to turn up again from the wash cycle. Additionally I didn't had the means to go on a shopping spree of formal clothes for wearing at the company. The seniors as usual ignored all of this and chose to ridicule me in front of my colleagues. 3. Hectic transportation : TCS is a billion dollar company and yet the Thane Hiranandani branch is located in the most remote place as possible. It is possible that the people in charge chose that location to save costs and rents. It was so farther away from thane station it took me 3 modes of publick transportation (2 busses and 1 rickshaw) to reach there. I spent every last of my penny just to travel to the work location. Second there were busses provided in the name of 'Transportation' for the employees. In order to reserve a seat in the busses one had to make a booking at the end of every month. The only catch was all of the seats got booked within seconds at the time of the booking. Which led me to discover that the whole system was rigged by a few people on the inside who charged employees 2000 bucks a month for reserving a seat on the bus. The very service that was provided for free. The quality of those busses was also laughable. The ironic thing is that while I waited for the bus from my location I used to notice busses from several other companies using Tata busses which were of good quality. TCS being a Tata company used third grade local busses which didn't had basic things such as shock absorber etc. The drivers were also not that equipped for driving. Within a month of traveling I witnessed a bus accident and also a separate incident where the driver was apprehended driving without a licence. In conclusion , the elitist nature and mindset of the people in charge at TCS let's them to freely exploit, mistreat and torture its employees. The Maharashtra government as usual chooses to ignore this and let's such companies continue running their racket. I am glad I absconded TCS and so should you. Thank you for reading....Read More

TCS has huge learning platform tied up with entities like Udemy, LinkedIn as well their internal learning platform is good. Apart from this I liked the job security, health benefits and ofcouse in my case I got opportunity of being a Technical Lead at even 2yrs of industrial experience that's very good.

Dislikes

Employee aspirations are not taken into consideration many times. Also, the project switch or quest for trying something new and different is not encouraged much.
