TCS System Engineer Trainee salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

TCS provides employment to thousands of youth every year and the job is secure. If you are lucky and interested, you will get onsite opportunities, which is significantly higher than other service based IT firms. Other than these three points and the brand name, nothing much to like about.

Dislikes

...nhancement works. The real development is done by the employees of the client. The pay scale is also not that great, just comparable with other service based companies. Work life balance is poor as well. If you work in Support, you might have to be available for night shifts and weekend works more than one's a month. No team outings and other recreational activities. Very rigid / non-flexible when it comes to requests from employees like re-location. Unresponsive HR. Access to newer technologies is very rare. Laid back work culture, I would rate it as just better than government offices. Nothing much to learn and hence not a good place to start the career. It's a tailor-made company for people who are in their late 40's or early 50's who have achieved a lot in their career and now just wants to get some time off. Since the employee count is more than 4 lakh, you'll have plenty of managers and usual office politics, bureaucracy and rampant micro-management. If you are a fresher or someone just starting out, try to avoid TCS. You can join TCS later in your career after you have accomplished your goals. If you have already joined TCS but you want some more excitement in your work, try to leave. This is not the place for you.

As you all know that TCS is one of the top most company in MNCs. Company provides good security and you will not feel pressure in work.

Dislikes

Promotions, hikes and salary perspective this is top worst company in india with no hikes and promotions. They will never think about employees future and their expectations.

Don't like anything offices have spacious working desk and some chairs are good

Dislikes

List is too long but I'll short with career progression in terms of salary, you'll get additional responsibilities daily but no compensation. No facilities for employees in office

Likes

- Plenty of resources to learn from. Talent development team is actively encouraging employees to learn new tech which is very good. - People are amazing and kind. I liked everyone there. - You will get amazing role only if you are lucky. Mostly you'll get something that you don't like (for freshers ) and you can't change the role. Read cons to know why. - Great place to start career and settle at later stage of your life. Not an ideal place for in-between.

Dislikes

...akes everyone to work in more relaxed manner. So the environment is uninspiring. - insignificant salary hike ( It doesn't beat inflation) - Takes longer time to get promoted (usually multiples of 4 years ). Your worth is measured in terms of number of years of experience only. - No support team follows proper process though they have it on paper. They'll waste your time for everything, even after leaving the company.
