TCS System Engineer Hardware Reviews

Likes

While the starting salary might be less, it appraises quite a bit during your entire career as some people stay their entire lives here. Personally, I think the starting salary for Digital associates is quite enough for a mid-tier city but so are the taxes. A sense of job security, since they didn't layoff a single employee during the COVID pandemic. A generous insurance policy, enough PTO if given prior notice are amongst the benefits....Read More

Dislikes

I have heard that appraisals can be tough but I haven't experienced it yet. I got around a 9% appraisal after my first year here, but I have heard it gradually goes down from the next.

The overall experience is good, but need to get more exposure if are in a big team otherwise your notable works are not even considered on appraisals/promotions.

Dislikes

Appraisal is not prior based on performance alone. Also not a good company if you are joining as a fresher, I would suggest if you are joining after 2-3 companies.

Peers are helpful as all are suffering from one thing underpaid and flexible time, clean campus.

Dislikes

Management is worse. Theur managers are that much skilled they put you in testing team if you are a developer. I heard if you get D band then your CTC will be reduced with some percentage. RMG is pathetic, thier only intention is to insult people and forced people to make them resign

As someone with over three years of experience at TCS, what I really value is the diverse opportunities the company offers to grow professionally. The exposure to various projects, including my experience in system engineering and development, has allowed me to develop a range of skills, from technical expertise to client communication. I also appreciate TCS's global presence and the chance to collaborate with teams across different locations, which has enriched my learning and adaptability. The recognition programs, such as the "Star of the Month" and "Service and Commitment" awards I received, make me feel valued for my contributions. Lastly, I admire how TCS fosters continuous learning through internal resources and external training programs, which aligns well with my goal of upskilling in data science and analytics. These aspects make TCS a place where I’ve grown significantly, both professionally and personally....Read More

Dislikes

While I’ve gained valuable experience and growth opportunities at TCS, there are certain aspects that I feel could be improved. One challenge has been the limited flexibility in transitioning to roles or projects that align with my evolving career aspirations. Despite the company’s vast opportunities, the internal mobility process can sometimes be lengthy or restrictive. Additionally, while TCS offers great resources and support, the work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially when managing personal commitments alongside work. For example, my current health situation has made me realize the importance of flexible arrangements like work-from-home options, which are sometimes limited based on project needs. Overall, while these are areas of improvement, they don’t overshadow the learning and growth I’ve experienced here. I see them as opportunities for the organization to become even better....Read More
