    Appraisal and salary hike is super difficult, if you have worked for product company previously then definitely you wont like tcs for some reasons. Try to join tcs at the time you wanna get stability in life. 3 month of notice period could be a hurdle for you to find a new job

    Oh ! I want to give zero rating if available. So much less salary in TCS, even a labor has more salary. No work and life balance. 7% salary hike is maximum. TCS runs mostly on Govt. contracts. Poor Management and Bad, unhuman behavior by management I experienced and heard from other employees in approx. all locations. Can't imagine this Tata brand might be so unhuman to employees.

    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.
