The Tata brand, the culture, the policies and the integrity is commendable. The way it's structured, the work life balance. Mostly it is the tata culture and the tata brand and reputation that is holding many people together.

The salary, the compensations, the appraisals, the HR connect is too bad. Never ever in my 10 years of experience have I had a good HR connect. You do not feel belonged and like no one is listening to you. Even the HRs and RMGs only listen to the managers and account heads. No honest employee connections. NO retention thoughts, no perks and no increments.

very less pay scale and growth. even appraisals are given in penneies. if it is your first job, then you will be stuck at the same salary bracket for a very long time and andit's very difficult to get digital or innovator profiles being in a project which require too much effort from your side,and occasionally they keep changing the rooms and conditions also.

...only 25% of workforce will work from office by 2025 now has changed their words. Woth no work life balance, and minimum salary bands, I feel it's an organization forcing their employees to scramble with stupid policies. Being such a big organization, it should lead the Digital work Real life. But again, it is promoting and forcing employees to WFO inefficiently. It is an organization which don't give increments and promotions even if you are getting 5/5 points in reviews. In name of promotion, you will get more work and responsibilities without any increase in salary. In one word, the suffocation is increasing day by day in TCS. Also, Somebody, once joined TCS at early stage feels incompetent to the job market.
