Only Tata brand may be of some value, that's all.

...pport client during weekends as well due to poor team structure and poor SOW. Salary - initially salary may be competitive but during appraisals you will be surprised of no hike because you are sitting in higher bracket as per their calculations. My four team members including myself didn't get any hike even some of them completed 2 yrs of service (first year they got hike but in second year just received a letter saying you are in a premium bracket), what the hell. Promotions depends NOT on your tech skills but how much you follow your supervisors. And most of the people sitting on higher positions are very old in their age and in the system also, they wont give a shit to your new ideas or thoughts as they think you are hurting their ego or may take over their positions. Skill developments - forget about it, you have to invest yourself if you want to learn new skills, they don't have a skill development program as such. May times they go to outsourced vendors and deploy their resources on client sites as relevant skills not available internally. You have to be like a bagger for months to get approval for your certification cost. Overall, worst company - no process at all, they mend the available process as per their wish. I dont know why HR exists when they cannot do anything. Very poor decision making, you will waste time in meetings discussing the same topic again and again while waiting for old folks to take wise decision but later nothing will happen. If you highlight some issue or gap, then it will be your problem to drive it with different teams even though it is nowhere related to your deliverables. Or even you may get scolded why did you highlight it, so be ignorant and better look for a change.

Worse management i have seen in entire work life. No job security. No salary hike as management is telling survival mode is going on. That's it. There is no support from senior.

Dislikes

There is a lot of politics and the management doesn't address our issues. career growth is very slow.

Apart from Brand, this company is nothing like the earlier Tata's

Dislikes

...defines your increment and promotion 2) No peer to peer respect in same group . 3) No notable recognition in teams 4) 4% to 8% hikes on lower base salary 5) Head of Solutions - was not an engineer, Head of Sales (B2B complex solutions) - is not an engineer. 6) Mostly Babu people from Bihar (Not being racist, just observation) 7) Review's 3 days a week, don't know when should one work 8) No stable products. Wish the brand took cognizance of their market acceptability. 9) Customers chasing the teams for giving results, not the other way around.

Good number of leaves. Flexible timings. Freedom in all aspects of work.

Dislikes

...chances of ending up in a toxic team (Team members trashing other members work). Pay gets normalized eventually, so motivation to go above average is pretty much unnecessary.
