1. Pathetic policies towards salary appraisal and quarterly bonus 2. Lateral hires should consider TCS as last company to work with as they have come up with new policy that for first eligible year no appraisal will happen and next year it will be usually 4-5% 3. Quarterly bonus payout is hardly 50-60% which is 15% of your CTC 4. You will be forced to work from office with or without any project. 5. Its a good company to buy shares but worst when it comes to work with

Very good self learning we will get so many oppertunities to up our skills.

Dislikes

Salary hikes. Hike policies are very bad So many politics As per my observation from DM level and higher they have very arrogant and don't care about employee. For DM there pressure fro their higher manager same for higher management. It's like chain of action final suffer will b employee only. 9 hours must work policy. If we are in very bad karma we will fall in BOA account.

I get to learn different skills by having unlimited access to udemy and learning access also I do not have an ego to work in development. So when I was released from first project I got support role which then transitioned to kafka project

Dislikes

Promotions and Hikes are invisible. It's based on pure luck If you get a promotion, in-hand salary gets increased in very slow manner.

Good work culture ( if one does not want to work ). One can spend complete career without working. One can deny work by telling lack of bandwidth or lack of experience. TCS has tie up with most training platforms so one learn a lot. If you have good relation with seniors then chances are there for onsite oppurtunity.

Dislikes

No appreciation for project work completion and hardly any promotion or salary hike. Every project manager amd partner will give a ladoo of onsite oppurtunity to everyone in the project to motivate as they are helpless due to low pay and low yearly appreciation of associates. TCS is mostly concentrated on AMS and BAU projects so chances are less to get a role in consulting or implementation project. ( its mostly like tata customer service) No mapping of career aspiration, skillset or education qualification. Senior are mostly concerned about incoming revenue and will tag to any project as long as revenue from client is coming. Getting out of project one does not like is very difficult without proper connection or if the project does not finish. No proper training before onboading, Partners try to skill associates on clients resources after onboarding to save money.

Mindset - No growth mindset, cheap policies to save money from every corner, don't provide any good facilities office or any tech related infra. No concern about employee well being and top management lacks leadership qualities big time.
