Work-life in head office Gurgaon will be awesome but in operating stations only good things are trainings deputations and hotel accommodation.

Dislikes

Low Salary Slow growth Working in operating stations is very difficult as shifts are uncomfortable irregular and rotational shifts. Roster is too bad like hours of working exceeds 58 hrs per week with single weekoffs. Too much pressure and stressful too much partiality and favourism in giving leave's and favourism in allocations and manpower shortage.

There is a lot of politics and the management doesn’t address our issues. Salary is decent but career growth is slow. There is a bond of 3 years before which you cannot resign. On the job training is not given to new joinees

... rather than employee advocates. 8.There is glaring issue of grade disparities . The pay and titles are all over the place , with no transparency or fairness. Merit doesn’t matter- connections and politics do.

Good Salary and Perks: If you have the right connections with top management ( family members, relatives, friends etc), you're rewarded with a great salary, impressive designations and hefty hikes even though you lack skills or domain knowledge.

Dislikes

...ng HR with concerns only results in them echoing "We're facing the same issues". Expect no resolutions - Gossip & Lack of Confidentiality: 1 to 1 HR meetings soon become the hottest gossip around the office - Salary Discrepancies & Inconsistences: There are significant disparities in pay and roles, with designations arbitrarily assigned. - Unapproachable and Rude" The HR team is not only unhelpful but also downright rude 2. Leadership dynamics: - Mandatory Flattery: Employees are forced to address the Chief Digital and Technology officer as " Doctor Satya", reinforcing a cult-like reverence - Rigid Work From Home Policy- WFH is a luxury rarely granted even during emergencies, leaving employees to practically "beg" for any flexibility 3. Work Culture: -TCS Clone Syndrome: The company seems hell-bent to replicating TCS's work culture. Senior management predominantly hails from TCS, fostering an environment steeped in outdated practices and political manoeuvring. You can see this the most in the Kochi office with real backstabbing actions from the head and sides. 4. Unstructured Product Development: -Ad-Hoc Requirements: Product development is driven by Satya's (I forgot to add Dr) verbal directives with no clear roadmaps or designated product owners. -Deadline Madness: The focus is solely on meeting last-minute deadlines for high-stakes demos, creating a pressure cooker environment - Backstabbing Politics: The upper echelons, a close-knit subset of TCS alumini, thrive on internal politics. Criticize anyone or challenge the recruitment process and you'll find yourself on the receiving end of betrayal/ 5. Team Hierarchy Issues: - Skewed grading: It's not uncommon to see team members outranking their leads, sometimes even with 10+ years of experience and skill set being undervalued compared to freshers or favouritism recruits. - Nepotistic Promotions: Only those with the right connections can secure a position just beneath the head, regardless of merit 6. Recruitment Issues: - Favouritism over merits: Hiring decisions favour personal connections (notably TCS friends) over actual skill sets. It's common for recruits with minimal experience or competency to be paid more than industrial standards while deserving candidates are left aside
