TCS Senior Project Manager salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Except Job security TCS gives nothing. If you are not ambitious and just want a monthly salary without hike year by year, TCS is for you. Politics in every department is on PEAK. HR department is worst department ever saw. They keeps hiding and will not reply to your queries even for 4-5 if you have any question to clarify (specially regarding salary). Join on you own risk. Female oriented company. (review is specifically for NON IT departments)

Dislikes

Department heads HR department Salary grading system Year increment process (completely biased)

Only good thing now left @TCS is that it provides learning opportunities and higher limit for hospitalization.

Dislikes

No salary hikes for seniors despite good rating,lot of screwing policies, poor Admin services, you will not even get proper tea without paying. Now there is no job security with current policy change. Promotions are quite difficult and no much salary hike on Promotions. It is a hell life for mid level people technical or others.Getting hike of 1% every year despite of good band. Juniors get 7-8 %. It is a clear message from management to leave for mid experience level. TCS is not the same which I joined 13 years back.

Probable onsite opportunity.

Dislikes

Low salary. Extremely delayed promotions. Extremely low variable payout. Unethical seniors- often false promises of promotion and onsite are offered to allure employees in joining project. Long working hours expectation. Supervisors call you at unearthly hours. Goals and Attributes are set at the last moment during appraisal time and often set as per the decision made on your band. If a low band is decided for you, then un realistic goals are set for you. Highly demotivating work environment.
