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.

Collegues, and company cultyre of TCS should be the benchmark in IT sector. And there is always to learn something, from collegues, management, or by ourselves. Job security is excellent.
