...fits in return. Be cautious, not to join such companies. No growth or promotion. Worst salary structure. This company is full of politics. Even the HR policies are political. Don't join TCS, even if it's the only company to give you the job. They spoil our career.

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.
