Salary received on time. usually its received at the end of the month.

Dislikes

Initiallly Tata communication was very good for work life but now a days management is changed. Currently people are not able to manage work life balance due to work load. recently Tata comm has formed separate entity call novamesh and forcefully pushed cybersecurity department to novamesh entity. Now management is pushing to rollout 6 day working pattern. Also from customer side there is push to be available for 24*7.

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.
