Its job security and work culture is kind of average to good. Atleast for my project. I think tcs is good if you join at good salary at higher management positions. One of the best thing is that if your project has onsite opportunities and you are really working good then they will definitely consider you for onsite.

Dislikes

Salary and also hikes. You can’t survive just on job security you need good salary inhand.

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

Working in TCS has a lot of benefits like work life balance, job security, opportunity for Learning and growth, company culture is also very good and feels the work we are doing is having impact.overall, it is very good company to work and learn.

Dislikes

The only problem is with the salary and appraisal which is not good. The appraisal totally depends on manager and hr and salary hike is also very low otherwise it is a very good company to work and learn.

No hikes. Even if you get good rating from manager/project but bands will be distribute like lottery system and if you get D band then your salary will get decreased. No skills. No work . Long time on bench. If you're a fresher please don't join this company. This company is only for the experienced who has more than 15 years. Worst RMG, Hr management. No free cab or bus facility.

I think TCS is only for old age politicians no young people can get better opportunity there and you won't get projects based on your technical skills. The so called political managers don't listen to your aspirations and dreams they only need you in those worst rod support projects where there is no carrier growth. I suggest not tojoin TCS for freshers who need to get better experience in tech stack....Read More

1. Ridiculous attitude of not hiring ex-tcs employees. I was contacted 5 times by TCS HRs over the past 2 years. After provind all details, 3 times interview was not schedule and they didn't give any reason and 2 times even after interviews were scheduled, panelists didn't attend. After multiple tries to contact hrs, one of them called and said we are not hiring ex tcs employees. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2. Salary increment. 3. Promotion increment. 4. Ordering employees to come 5 days in office and spend 9 hours, even after the hybrid mode prooved much beneficial in every respect....Read More

TCS have great job security and learning. If your are experienced join tcs else get experience and join in case of good salary hike.

Dislikes

Salary hike its depend not on work based only on exam based. Where people won't get time to prepare or take those exam. And those exam its not fully legitimate. In office mid of city have drawback like zero transportation, poor canteen and vechicle parking issues. In case of my project its good to learn and grow but have bad work life balance because of poor metric in time calculation for tasks.

Mostly about job security. If you are lucky, you will get great teammates and amazing clients who are always there for you.

Dislikes

If you are looking to join as a fresher, I'd say don't. There's no promotion/appraisal, upper management is the worst, very few projects where you'll learn something, mostly it's all monitoring and manual testing.
