Dislikes

...no career growth and the persons who are working in TCS were terribly underpaid. Even though TCS is receiving high compensation for many new projects, most of the employees were not even paid properly. And in case of career growth also there should be no progress as most of the projects were containing internal politics and hence no good career development environment should be available in TCS. There is not even free food / goodies anything were provided from TCS officials. Very bad behavior towards the employees from TCS management.

How soon should I say I'm not joining the org.

I have offer from 3 orgs 1. Deloitte 2. Thoughtworks 3. TCS Decided to join Deloitte on March 05, which is the DoJ of other two as well. I wanted to know when is the right time to inform tcs and thoughtworks that I'm not joining their orgs, and what's the best reason to give? I wanted to have a backup offer if in worst case deloittes offer messes up.
