TCS Associate Software Architect salaries in India

Likes

You don't get paid as per work or designation. No work life balance. Only expected to work round the clock. No benifit like bonus etc.

Dislikes

Non professional behaviour No benifit Salary hike is less compared to new joining or other it company No encouragement for personal life Round the clock work Unexpected work exposure

Likes

It has low work load due to enough support staff and job is secure as TCS will never ask to leave unless there is a major policy violation.

Dislikes

...ment is near impossible. Promotion will be heard rarely. Lots of hidden charges. And the most important, you will never get salary given in offer letter, it will be short by around atleast 2 LPA or more than that only.

Work life balance is good. For managers and above, Variable pay is just as good as nothing. Consider there is no variable and whatever you get is a plus. HR process is very bad, they don't answer any question, you may expect a reply from Prime minister office, but don't expect solution from HRs. The assets you get (laptop, mouse etc) are outdated.

Dislikes

HR process, and and variable pay like peanuts.

Work life balance is good but again its depends on the project.

Dislikes

1. There are no other benefits apart from salary 2. 5 days WFO failing which they deduct in the quarterly performance pay. 3. Salary Hike is for name sake you will end up getting 30 to 35k per year for highest band. 4. No technical growth. Here most of the projects are like support kind of thing so there is no technical growth. 5. Apart from job security there are no other benefits

Job security Company presence across the globe is really good If remain in a project there there would be a good chance to get onsite opportunity

Dislikes

Tricky Variable pay. Very lengthy process of approvals even for a very small thing, have to deal with or penetrate through many layers of hierarchy. Unusable banch strength, have interviewed many banch candidates(who were on banch for 2+ years) and believe me they are just shit. Sometimes feel like for a fresher TCS is not at all a good company. Those freshers who got the project can do better but for those who are not part of any ongoing projects are actually ruined and fews are like they not at all want to be in the project. RMG dictatorship, they push the banch people in irrelevant projects, if candidate refused then RMG block their payroll. Have meet few candidates whose payroll actually stuck for 5 to 6 months and never get paid for the blocked duration after getting the projects
