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.

Work-life balance - Excellent

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.
