In TCS you have flexibility....you can choose projects, reject projects, learn lot of things through various learning platforms. Though during project, sometimes managing learning is an uphill task. Low salaries for long timers is a big drawback. It boasts of being agile but does not use agile for running its own day to day operations. Resourcing is in a big time mess, people working on project have to invest a lot of time in resourcing, there's no dedicated team within the projects ( even projects as large as with 300 people). Quarterly bonus is almost certain to be zero at 12+ yr experience levels. Old school mentality still exists in TCS, where wearing Jeans is a crime on weekdays. Male employees still do not get official paternity leave ( when needed they apply other available leaves)...Read More
Dislikes
Low salaries
Late night meetings
Leadership vaccum, super seniors are like arrogant bosses, they cannot toleryone word against their decisions.
Quarterly bonus is virtually non existent at 13+ yr experience levels

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

No concern about employee well being and top management lacks leadership qualities big time.
Work from office (daily 60km travel).
No work life balance.
Hectic work even on weekends(they will give comp off for it).

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.
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.

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
