Pros : Job security- 100% like you can be here till retirement. I have met people who are working in TCS for more than 25years who started as fresher. transport office you get opportunities to upgrade your career with WINGS assessment. basically it all depends on what project you get. i was in BPO projects so nothing so good/better in terms of growth/promotions.
Cons: This is from Non -IT background person POV: 1. please don't join as freshers- I was fooled by "tcs is like govt. job" but please have job experience & join cuz, package is not fair if you join right after non IT -degree. 2. as fresher you get into traineeship. Traineeship is for 1year in that you get 13K as stipend 3. Here people are working as per project/client needs not per TCS need which means you get to work under too much pressure & no one really cares how you feel. 3. Appraisals are totally biased. if you are in managers/TL's good books you get high/good ratings - meaning you do everything- like EVERYTHING to make them happy. 4. not only BPO, I have seen IT background people doing copy-paste job here. 5. there were new Gen-Zs joined the project with that :TCS is my Dream company, just to leave/abscond in 6 months saying it's just like School only difference is we getting paid(less). Overall, I see that all say TCS has lost its charm, because no ones really growing into career nor as a person, It creates that comfort zone because of job security. other than that everyone higherup is still following that "Work is life & life is work" motive, if you say work life balance it's like speaking in French with them. Please check out other companies to join if you are NON-IT person/BPO, don't join TCS if you don't want to be a well trained DONKEY....Read More

because my strong technical skills in [mention relevant technology], combined with my eagerness to learn and collaborative spirit, perfectly align with your company's focus on innovation and teamwork; I'm confident that I can quickly contribute to your projects and grow alongside your talented team.".
Limited career progression: Many employees feel stuck in their roles with minimal opportunities for advancement and skill development, especially if not actively seeking out new projects or taking initiative.

Work place environment was very positive I had enjoyed working in Tata Consultancy Services.
I would like to again join Tata Consultancy Services but as per my knowledge they will not be hiring again their old employees once they have resigned that only one thing is making me upset.

If you are at your mid age and is looking for a career with job security having a great work-life balance then TCS is the best company to work with
Appraisal and recommendations are not satisfactory. India's inflation rate starts at 8% hence if yearly appraisal is below 5% then we are not even beating the inflation with our hike which is a pain at TCS

Working with TCS is great experience but the project to which I have worked the managers are too toxic. They won't give respect to other health, they force the associates to report to office even on sick leave.
Mangers toxic nature. Least respect to the associates. Iam not telling that every manager is like that in TCS but my projects managers are like that.

Best company to work with complete job satisfaction work and family life balance is well maintained.
Biggest drawback of the company is no-rehiring policy this policy refrains pulling back the employees who have left the organisation and want to rejoin the organisation I wish if this policy would be abrogated I would be very happy to rejoin. Salary increment is quite slow in pace that is again a pain point it could get little better.

I likes about the TCS is good work culture, low work pressure, work-life balance, lots of opportunities to learn and the most job security.
It feels good working at TCS. The work culture is good, with low work pressure and lots to learn but the salary increament as per the seniority and role is low. If the salary is justified as per the seniority or designation, I would never left TCS.

Despite the large number people who are just there to exploit you There will be few individuals you will meet with whom you really wanna work for.
The people who are higher hierarchical level than you are treats you like you are some kind of slave they are going to take advantage of the vulnerabilities you have to exploit you just because they have some power overall worst company to start your career.

At TCS, I am grateful for the opportunity to start my career as a fresher straight out of college. The structured work environment and exposure to financial processes have helped me develop a strong foundation in Accounts Receivable. Handling invoice processing and working with ERP tools has enhanced my attention to detail and problem-solving skills. I appreciate the experience and learning I have gained here, which has strengthened my professional journey....Read More
While I appreciate the opportunity TCS gave me as a fresher, I found that the work involved limited exposure to technical growth and innovation. The repetitive nature of tasks and lack of hands-on experience in advanced technologies made me realize my passion lies in a more dynamic and development-oriented role. This motivated me toupskill in Salesforce development, where I can build solutions, work on automation, and contribute more effectively to business processes....Read More

Human Resource is a big pain. You can not get a convincing reply. They always sound like chatbot and hopefully will be the very first to be replaced by AI. Offshore people are all lazy and procrastinate. There is nobody to look upto for inspiration. There is no motivation to grow or to achive anything professionally. People here are always busy working, but still accomplish nothing.

Onsite opportunities, during my 6 year tenure at TCS 5 years I was at onsite, though it is a pure luck. Medical insurance was better but now they started diluting. My colleagues were helpful but again it depends on luck.
As a mechanical engineer it is not an ideal place for beginners, you will be working on simple tasks that doesn’t need any engineering or technical skills. Better look for opportunities at OEMs or tier1s at the early stage and choose TCS for a settled life.

They are not treating employees with good respect. Hr peoples are very rude. Even for checking something they are speaking in a rude way. Its been 2.5 months i got project still i didn't get license for TCS teams. Without teams very hard to connect with peoples also. Not proving proper support, proper work for your experience. I'm an automation tester but i'm doing manual work. Without intimating me they directly tagged me to this release sayinb frst learn functionality to do automation, but the worst thing is i'm not even learning functionality. Just doing UI validation, whether conton, design, links are correct. Overalll very worst organization. People can choose this organization only for job security that's it. No growth nothing...Read More

They provide access to lots of online learning plarforms like Udemy, LinkedIn learning and etc. You could also get an opportunity to visit onsite.
If you are passionate to get an IT job then never enroll in mass hiring because you'll never know what job role you might end up with, even if you are just want to get into IT sector as a fresher then never choose TCS because they are absolutely cheap in terms of salary and the managers are condescending so you might feel frightenedto speak up at certain instances. Less flexible when it comes switching to a different team....Read More

It is a good place to work but for a very limited time
People wont give you release if you have a dependency on you. In this way you will never learn new things with new people and process. The higher ups are just lazy and egoistic people who do not care for the company or its employees.
