strong emphasis on work-life balance, ample opportunities for learning and career growth through diverse projects, a sense of job security as a large company, and a supportive culture that encourages continuous skill development through training programs
Everything. Poor work culture. Poor work-life balance. Poor project management. You are going to get dumb if you stay here otherwise you will get used to normal work and day to day to get laziness only. Career development zerooooo

job security is the best part here. company culture and ethics are also greatbecause it TATA. Most of the government project and national level projects are likely to coming here. Depending on the type of project you are getting your life and experience will be super good or super bad.
Job security - Excellent
Company culture - Good
Dislikes
very less pay scale and growth. even appraisals are given in penneies. if it is your first job, then you will be stuck at the same salary bracket for a very long time and andit's very difficult to get digital or innovator profiles being in a project which require too much effort from your side,and occasionally they keep changing the rooms and conditions also.

Dislikes
I don't even hate my manager as I understand they are also being pressured by their higher ups. They have no choice but to call us on Saturdays and Sundays. I am in one of the big projects in banking sector. So the pressure is high for everyone involved.

Lack of acknowledgement / appreciation

TCS is an organization that keep a tagline "Building on Beliefs" but don't stay on their words. I feel it's a worst company and following primitive methodologies of work. Once the organization was saying only 25% of workforce will work from office by 2025 now has changed their words.
Woth no work life balance, and minimum salary bands, I feel it's an organization forcing their employees to scramble with stupid policies.
Being such a big organization, it should lead the Digital work Real life. But again, it is promoting and forcing employees to WFO inefficiently. It is an organization which don't give increments and promotions even if you are getting 5/5 points in reviews.
In name of promotion, you will get more work and responsibilities without any increase in salary.
In one word, the suffocation is increasing day by day in TCS.
Also, Somebody, once joined TCS at early stage feels incompetent to the job market....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.

Except job security there is nothing which can help you to grow your career neither skill nor salary or opportunities.
If you want to develop your skills or willing to get benifits you need to be always good with manager even he is not a nice with you. Here people's get good hike and appraisals when they have good contact with manager, if not forget benifits from company even you working hard.

Nothing new to learn new. Most of the projects are support very few development projects. If you are lucky then you get chance to work in development projects. My suggestion if you are new in professional career never join TCS. Learning graph is linear salary hike and promotion is almost negligible
