It is pretty good about it's work life balance and in terms of job security.

  • Job security - Good
  • +1 more

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.

They promote free loader work culture. Skill development on name only. Company culture: Toxic Salary: Even ola driver and Panipuri seller earns more with comfort. Promotions: What are that?.
