Best Health insurance in market
Work life balance although depends on projects but you can choose to do 8 hrs work if you want.
Free udemy access and quarterly certification can be reambursed.
Onsite opportunities are good if you need.
Dislikes
Poor salary, they'll give hikes to people who join from other companies but not to the people who have been working hard for years.
Actual Talents leave after few years and those who stay most of them are average on tech.
Growth will slow down significantly after 2 yrs.
You'll learn politics and how not to work from other senior people
Once you resign they will not care about you. You are just a resource for them like other 6L people....Read More

Dislikes
They show-off that it is 100 percent job security but not. They are forcefully torchruing employees to resign if not they terminate.
No appraisals, no promotion, less hike
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.
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.
Provide exposure to lot of technologies, focuses on individual learning and growth and excellent work culture. Brilliant workplace and facilities.
Dislikes
Very slow progression in salary.

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.

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.
Dislikes
No hikes, no motivation, no appraisals, shit salary. Failure to recognize true potential from right employee
Work life balance is completely based on your project. If you are lucky you'll be peaceful with your work. Infrastructure is good
Dislikes
No learning opportunities. Promotions are often withheld for no reason. No salary benefits and negligible hike. Some projects dont even appreciate your hardwork.

I get to learn different skills by having unlimited access to udemy and learning access also I do not have an ego to work in development. So when I was released from first project I got support role which then transitioned to kafka project
Dislikes
Promotions and Hikes are invisible. It's based on pure luck If you get a promotion, in-hand salary gets increased in very slow manner.

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.

There is nothing to like. If you like comfortable life then join tcs and do not expect anything else.
Dislikes
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

It is good only for the people who dont want to grow and learn just like govt employees. But with a twist that your salary will not be incremented OR just 1% for media sake.

Never join this company before and age of 50. No learning, no appraisal, no growth, no team bonding.

Powai branch has bad food services in there cafeteria and after multiple complaints no stringent actions are taken for improvement.
No Diwali gifts not even sweets.
There are many things to dislike thats the reason I am planning to leave now. What will I do of job security if I am not happy with my work.
