As you all know that TCS is one of the top most company in MNCs. Company provides good security and you will not feel pressure in work.

Dislikes

Promotions, hikes and salary perspective this is top worst company in india with no hikes and promotions. They will never think about employees future and their expectations.

Likes

The company has a very good management professional and HR to reach for the change of project or in any support. Good work culture. For skill development there is lot of opportunities either in digital applications or in IRC with some very good books.

Dislikes

Following the same hike percentage for freshers and lateral entry is not fair. Even after 8 years You could see that the person often switch has greater pay scale than the person who is loyal to TCS. In Promotions manager would play a political game there.

Likes

Job security is a big plus. Decent work life balance. No of employees to do a work would always be 1.5 times than the actual people required to do the required work hence less load on an individual.

Dislikes

One would always be crying about the pay one gets irrespective of number of years they spend in TCS. Promotions come in very late- spend the valuable years of your life grinding the same things again and again.

Likes

Job security and flexibility.

Dislikes

The salary hike is a joke. B band gets 5% and C gets 3%. A gets 8% to 12% (if your boss recommends higher pay hike so there's no way to guys getting A band are treated equally based on their performance. Promotions are not merit based. So you have to ask for it, make noise and keep following up. If you're an introvert, forget your promotion. HR policies are strictly enforced in the letter. Not even HR knows the spirit of the rules. Someone on the bench is asked to travel 45kms one way to spend 9 hours in the office only for the compliance to RTO rules. TCS cares is a myth. Values are only for the media and on paper and for the associates to follow. Leadership level thoughts are different.
