...ying off people for the smallest reasons. Managers do not give a crap about you.no promotion and the salary is stuck in 2014 no increment at all. Horrible work life balance as they force you to be in office min 9 hours otherwise guess what your layedoff

Good work life balance.

Dislikes

... time. For all the freshers I would not recommend you to join Tata Elxsi at all. The salary itself ain't justified for the city they are situated in, with this salary we should rather get work from home for the entirety of the job, you might also get discouraged to know that for the same level of experience/post someone else might be getting paid more than double of what you are getting. Overall, the experience wasn't worth it, you won't acquire new skill sets required for surviving the market as the company is working on old technology, you won't feel valued or being treated well. No work from for the first year, anniversary appraisal for two years. Low-wage work.

Tata elxsi is a good company. They won't be giving competitive salary while joining as experienced candidate, the good thing is hike for existing employees is above industry average compared to other service based companies.

Dislikes

...dies, events , team building activities are not according to industry standards. The basic component in salary is so low and standard insurance is only 1.5 lakhs. Need to pay extra 5k for getting atleast 3 lakhs insurance coverage.

- The only good thing about working here is that you don't have to tell everyone that you are working in an IT company, but an engineering company (all lies). - Job security is there if you are willing to miss out on good career progression. - After just 2 years of service they make you senior engineer, even though you don't know anything and at 5 years you become a 'specialist' this title means nothing as the specialist I have seen are not even intermediate in their field.

Dislikes

..." which means we will put you in project and hope that you learn own your own. - The salary is absurd. Even after hitting record high on the stock market the employees get nothing, the good performers of the company get around 7% hike which is less than inflation rate, while the CEO gets 300% hike. - The salary stops growing after 6LPA. You will be lucky to get the same salary as your YoE. Eg: 7 year guy will get 7LPA. - You have to be lucky to get a really good project, most projects here are just documentation and testing and that too the management expects you to work Saturdays, Sundays and holidays without giving a simple rupee. - The work hours for employees working in India are 9 to 6, but most people are forced by their managers to work from 8am to 11pm so that they can meet with teams from Japan, Europe, USA, SA etc.

... Not much aware of campus as I joined virtually and continuing WFH since then. Your performance gives you good hike and bonus as well. Teammates are really supportive and interactive in every aspect. Company policies are also good.

May expect work load sometimes but not always
