Role based organization is a good culture than based on your education or experience

Dislikes

TCS doesn’t pay the basic pay as per the industry standard or as per government guidelines. Also TCS leadership doesn’t worry or speak about employees wellbeing. You may observe any of their quarterly results conversation, they never speak about providing good facilities to their employees. They don’t even give a good workspace for people to work peacefully.

Depends on your mindset.... if you are someone not interested in growth, not too much into technology, not looking for salary that matches market standards it is a good place to be. There are lots of projects, so you can choose to move into another one after atleast completing one year and then writing to HR

Got Offer from TCS!

Hello, I got 32L CTC offer from TCS as an IAM associate consultant. Is it a good package considering I have 10.9 years of experience and in IAM 3.6 years? Rest of the experience is in dot net. Also, TCS is considering 10.2 experience only as some process on their side. Please share your thoughts on the offered package and the experience part. Thank you in advance.
