Good work culture
( if one does not want to work ).
One can spend complete career without working.
One can deny work by telling lack of bandwidth or lack of experience.
TCS has tie up with most training platforms so one learn a lot.
If you have good relation with seniors then chances are there for onsite oppurtunity.
Dislikes
No appreciation for project work completion and hardly any promotion or salary hike.
Every project manager amd partner will give a ladoo of onsite oppurtunity to everyone in the project to motivate as they are helpless due to low pay and low yearly appreciation of associates.
TCS is mostly concentrated on AMS and BAU projects so chances are less to get a role in consulting or implementation project.
( its mostly like tata customer service)
No mapping of career aspiration, skillset or education qualification. Senior are mostly concerned about incoming revenue and will tag to any project as long as revenue from client is coming. Getting out of project one does not like is very difficult without proper connection or if the project does not finish.
No proper training before onboading, Partners try to skill associates on clients resources after onboarding to save money....Read More

Dislikes
Mindset - No growth mindset, cheap policies to save money from every corner, don't provide any good facilities office or any tech related infra.
No concern about employee well being and top management lacks leadership qualities big time.
Asking WHO daily even the job doesn't require
Variable pay and it's linked to WFO attendance
Too much restriction for installing basic dev required software

Work life balance is good. For managers and above, Variable pay is just as good as nothing. Consider there is no variable and whatever you get is a plus.
HR process is very bad, they don't answer any question, you may expect a reply from Prime minister office, but don't expect solution from HRs.
The assets you get (laptop, mouse etc) are outdated.
Dislikes
HR process, and and variable pay like peanuts.

Company deducts the quarterly Bonus, salary does not increase. No work life balance. Work pressure, bad management, no one listens and cares when you raise concerns.
1. Work life balance
2. Health Insurance Policy
3. Job Security
Dislikes
Majority of the projects are support projects so even if you have great coding skills or greenfield implementation or migration experience; it will be a waste as you would rarely use it.

Company presence across the globe is really good
If remain in a project there there would be a good chance to get onsite opportunity
Dislikes
Tricky Variable pay.
Very lengthy process of approvals even for a very small thing, have to deal with or penetrate through many layers of hierarchy.
Unusable banch strength, have interviewed many banch candidates(who were on banch for 2+ years) and believe me they are just shit. Sometimes feel like for a fresher TCS is not at all a good company.
Those freshers who got the project can do better but for those who are not part of any ongoing projects are actually ruined and fews are like they not at all want to be in the project.
RMG dictatorship, they push the banch people in irrelevant projects, if candidate refused then RMG block their payroll. Have meet few candidates whose payroll actually stuck for 5 to 6 months and never get paid for the blocked duration after getting the projects...Read More
