Only good thing is that salary comes on time and you can upskill yourself through various activities.

Dislikes

The project allocation procedure is hit with rampant politics and RMG will make sure to dump you in a project which nerfs you to the core and kills your work motivation and makes you question yourself at every stage about the efforts you put in to be who you are today.

Work life balance is good.

There is no hike in my salary. Even I'm the critical resource in that project. Notice period is 3 months they are strictly following that.if you try to switch means it's too hard.

Only coz of my office location I got better project to work. Apart from that nothing really good about it of you start of your career from TCS. Not recommended for freshers. Experienced people have different review on this matter.

Dislikes

Promotion is not worth it and salary hike is total disaster. HR attitude are on different galaxy and I had to face issues during my separation from organisation. Earlier it was decided an early release but later it was extended by my manager. No communication from HR side regarding that and no actual clarification was provided by them. Due to financial problem I cannot book flight to office location ( round way minimum 19k and no train available ) and to this they didn't even accept my request to submit asset to nearest. To those who read this kindly remember to mail each and every word to HR during this period of separation as according to them verbally affirming them thousands of time is not acceptable.

TCS is one of such companies which has a market value of a company people go during retirement period. It's absolutely best place for people who have quest to learn and thrive but that comes of at great sacrifices. Overall company is bound by cultures and values.

Dislikes

Promotions, Ratings, Salary, Growth everything comes at a price other than your hard work. It's how much you can labour. No matter what project or your talent. The company fails to retain good talent because of its nature of providing job security and gaining tons with just that added advantage. It's a company for retirement not when you are starting your career. It shows you within a year what you will go through and soon you will leave the firm.

Dislikes

No skill development and salary hike. Also internal politics are there. The one who butter manager will get hike and the one who works will get more works. In the case of skill development, there's few good projects in TCS and all others can not even considered as a support projects. With an average TCS experience,you need to lie in your resume or do some other interships/courses to crack a good job
