TCS Reviews

You will see job security mentioned in all the posts, TCS has a good brand name and you can flaunt it and it is a matter of pride. The learning opportunities are immense as the learning and development has plethora of articles, exams and training material to enhance your skills. The compensation is the best among the MNC;s but depends on your managers perspective. Sycophancy is omnipresent, needless to say, having said that I will still mention salary part the positives The medical and the digital claim system makes the life easy, the facilities like gym and cafeteria varies from location to location, if you are lucky enough to be deputed at a good place you will get good amenities, place like Malad is an old asylum. The infrastructure is poor. Cons of getting stuck in an internal project.

Dislikes

TCS is like an ocean, some find pearls and diamonds, some find stones and shells, I am the unfortunate one to get the latter one. It is like a curse being in IT. the work pressure is immense, people who proactively work will be burdened until the succumb to pressure, the people who like to enjoy will have the time of their life and loiter around to glory. Getting a release is totally at project managers discretion, I remember the line from the favorite song of eagles, me and my friend used to sing together "you may checkout anytime you want, but you may never leave!". Getting a release from one project is an impossible task, the HR will be ready to let you go out of TCS but will not release from the project, every plea goes unheard. none of the escalations work! the only option is to quit. New joiners are mislead into internal as they lack knowledge and are naive. Experienced people are cheated and thrown into the pit. The internal employees are wise enough to escape the limbo. Just a warning sign whoever is considering joining TCS which otherwise is a heaven for IT geniuses.

Work

Overall journey has been good with ample of opportunities to work on legacy systems and various technology.

WHEN I TOOK A JOB IN TCS I'VE DECIDED NOT TO QUIT FROM THIS ORGANIZATION AND TAKING IT AS A ONE TIME CAREER OPPORTUNITY AND WORKED REALLY HARD TO FIND A BETTER POSITION OR ROLE IN MY FIRST TEAM AND AFTER ACHIEVING IT I GOT MOVED TO ONE ANOTHER TEAM WHERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AREN'T REALLY ON MY SIDE DUE TO PROCESS MIGRATION I WAS MOVED ALONG WITH ALL MY TEAM MEMBERS BUT STILL GOT PLACED IN A GOOD TEAM RIGHT NOW AND I'M WORKING WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE SURROUNDED BY ME.
THIS STORY COULD REVEAL THAT TCS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET LEARNING, GET TO KNOW NEW WORLD OF CORPORATE BUSINESSES, CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT TO IMPROVE OURSELVES, LAST RESORT FOR ALL THE EMPLOYEES PERSONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A VERY GOOD PLATFORM FOR ALL THE DEEDS ANS NEEDS, RIGHT PLACE TO EXPLORE AND EVOLVE AROUND THE GLOBE AND MORE LIKELY A FAMILY..,

Dislikes

ALL THE ABOVE SAID COMMENTS ARE TRUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE BUT IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE OR AVAILABLE FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO COPE UP THE CULTURE IN TCS.

Apart from job security nothing is good for those working in analytics at NKP, Mumbai location

Dislikes

I am writing this for analytics division based in NKP, Goregaon, Mumbai location.
Do not join this place unless you need a job very badly.
This is worst work culture I have come across in my career, the head of the department is the worst leader who do not how to even talk to employees and treat them as if the employees are servants. Therefore the same is done by his deputy. Shouting on employees is a common thing for these guys. They have a very weak knowledge base and do not know anything. As they are failed to bring any good project, thus trying to sell that the employees are very lucky that they got the documentation work and this will improve their career. I don't know how pathetic this sounds but if someone tells that this work is not good then the conclusion they draw is he/she is conspiring against them.

They will hire you by giving false information on the JD and in the interview say that you will get modelling work but in reality there is no work apart from documentation and little bit analysis (if you are lucky you will get this work). After joining when confronted about the promise they have made they will shamelessly say it was your call or can even shout on you.

Since there is no work, all the time they will monitor you like whether you are at desk or not even if you do not have any work and Creating bizzare rules like be seated 9 hours on your desk(other companies have it but only in rule book) else they will call the HR, do not talk with fellow team members ( as they think you are upto something against them), do not laugh as it disturb other employees. All these may sound impractical but these are 100% true my friends.

The result of this kind of work culture is that, almost every financial year about 60 - 80% of employees resign.

There's a lot of bad experience I had here so I will recommend if possible never join to this location of Tcs, there are 99% chances are you will regret it.

You can draw salary without doing any work and even without to going to office a single in a month.

Dislikes

1. First of all, every body in TCS are simple LIAR. HR will lie about salary at the time of joining. Manager will lie about work profile at the time of joining the project. Sometime I feel, TCS Managers are getting salary for telling lie to employee. One HR manager told me TCS salary are like weather fore casting. another HR manager told you may need to pay TCS for working in TCS. I have written proof.
2. They deduct salary of a person after joining. Dont give allocation wvwn if your are actively working in a project.
3. I have never seen such regionalism in any other organisation in India like TCS. North manager does not like south manager and vise a versa, etc. etc.
4. There are few managers who takes money from recruitment firm. I mentioned the same to Regional HR, but no action was taken.
5. TCS encourages its employee to use personal laptop or computer to connect and work in client network. I have written proof. I raised the concern to appropriate authority. But No Action.

Work

1. They hired me to spoil business of my previous employee. In fact TCS hired the entire group. After hiring they just kept us in bench for 6 months and poor rating for non performance. And subsequently deducted salary as per TCS policy.

Working in India within TCS , might offer some benefits in terms of policies like (sabbatical, maternity leaves etc). The work life balance really depends on the project in India, your onsite location and your manager.

Is good if you want to settle and job security is the highest prio.

Dislikes

- No defined career path for Business Analyst
- No scope in consulting career
- Poor middle management creates a lot of hierarchy and titles of very mediocre standards
- Training modules in company do not focus on practicality and are extremely lengthy and time consuming
- Promotions and appraisal completely depends on how your relationship was with your management
- Onsite travel opportunity is also quite a pain and RMG does not really help much and would push you into any project to meet targets
- Complete lack of involvement from top most management with employees
- Work environment completely depends on the management style and frustration of employees due above reasons.
- Can require very good political instincts to survive for long term

Work

Within TCS, work really depends on the project you are working on.
Can be very exciting to extremely frustrating.
Consulting can be boring as not much of primary research is conducted and work and assignments are based on secondary research mostly.

I like many things here as compared to similar mnc's (based on exp of my friends working in other companies) like first of all job security, leave policy, work timings n over all work-life balance but I would say going in long term it solely depends on projects you are working or clients you are working for. I worked in many domains and with plenty of clients and felt it was very different situation in handling things with all of them. Apart from work environment, I also liked being here as TCS is a subsidiary of TATA Sons which is know for benevolence in Indian Society, it feels an immense proud that around 60% of our earnings are going for charity. Thanks.

Dislikes

Yeah I dislike many things as well.
1. High level of politics in appraisal and on-site deputation, but I would say at the same time if you are talented then no one will dare to play with you.

2. Stagnent growth for mid level employee
3. Learning/innovation/opportunities are depend on your project you are working for, suppose your clients are involved/interested to train/up skill you then well n good but from TCS side its almost negligible. RMG ,HR, Higher management people will never care about your skill or as per skill mapping. Thanks

Work

Neither hectic nor boring, if you are a crazy coder you will find a way to become in limelight , if you are a mediocre you can be in corner n do as directed to do.

HR policies are good, they donot have hire and fire policy, Health insurance scemes are good.

Dislikes

Policies are good but there is no implementation, if you raise any issue about your supervisor HR always take a diplomatic position with project managers, no matter what is your academic background they put you on random projects, like they put Arts and science grads in finance process whether the B.com or finance grads are working with some data entry project, Kolkata RMG condition is worst if project is rampdown and you move to RMG which is a reserve bench, the manager and HR of RMG is behave with you like you are their personal servant what project they give you, you have to take this. Some project also donot have professional work culture like if you not do enough oiling to your supervisor then your work allocation will much higher then other who do oiling, Some project magagers are there who unable to speak english, the most bad thing is salary discrimination its quite possible suppose if you are working for 2yrs, suddently they recruit freshers and they get higher salary then you, or the guys join with you as well their is always difference in payouts.

Work

Same work you have to do, 2 , 4 or even 5 years or more, traning and development department their but dont know how they functions, only way of learning is online they have a portal, no as such good classroom training at least in kolkata.

Likes

Actually i dont like anything here. This is a worst company to work with. They will sack your career so badly that you will end up no where. Only thing they know is to cut their employee's salary and hamper their whole life in whatever possible way they can do. Neither they give promotions on time and they will create situations that you will never get promoted.

Dislikes

Evrything . TCS give large amount of money in the name of charity but when it comes to give salary then they dont have any money. Work quality is so bad and instead of fixing that they will focus on fooling their clients and that why TCS is loosing many customers and good development projects. They dont give opportunities to people who wants to learn. Employees are very much unsatissfied here and management dont care. Every quarter they will come up with new ways to deduct our salary. Only people who goes to upper position are those who know how to do buttering. They charge money for everything whatever services they provide which are free in other companies.

Work

There is no proper work. My supervisor scolds me and humiliates me for every single opportunity he gets. In short my career and life is runied by TCS

Likes

The company is good to work with. I love the fact that they purely recognized my talent and gave me an opportunity in ITIS though I was selected in BPOS. As a result, I was able to communicate in far better way. I had a good ambiance and helping teammates. Mine is a US Based Retail shop Helpdesk Support job.

I won award for " The Best Performer as New Hire" within 3 months from the Date of Joining. I really liked to do my job as it was multi-tasking and had a scope for my future.

Dislikes

Though I was a very good performer than the senior employees and was recognized by My Project Clients, I did not get any recognition or a proper salary for my work for the whole period which I worked in the company. I loved what I did but I had to leave to leave the Company because of my Salary issue where I was under paid for the voice process.

Work

I loved my job (i.e) the project which I was working in. I had no idea to leave the project as I saw a good scope for me in the project as my performance was very good than my project officials expected. I got so much knowledge about the Technology used.
