No work to do. No pressure on work completion or meeting targets. Supervisors and managers encourage to give hyped estimates to client.

Dislikes

No work from home option. Promotions and salary hikes are near to 0. No salary hikes not even to meet market inflations. Employees are not treated well. Once you get into TCS then your professional growth comes to a stand still.

Only coz of my office location I got better project to work. Apart from that nothing really good about it of you start of your career from TCS. Not recommended for freshers. Experienced people have different review on this matter.

Dislikes

Promotion is not worth it and salary hike is total disaster. HR attitude are on different galaxy and I had to face issues during my separation from organisation. Earlier it was decided an early release but later it was extended by my manager. No communication from HR side regarding that and no actual clarification was provided by them. Due to financial problem I cannot book flight to office location ( round way minimum 19k and no train available ) and to this they didn't even accept my request to submit asset to nearest. To those who read this kindly remember to mail each and every word to HR during this period of separation as according to them verbally affirming them thousands of time is not acceptable....Read More

TCS is one of such companies which has a market value of a company people go during retirement period. It's absolutely best place for people who have quest to learn and thrive but that comes of at great sacrifices. Overall company is bound by cultures and values.

Dislikes

Promotions, Ratings, Salary, Growth everything comes at a price other than your hard work. It's how much you can labour. No matter what project or your talent. The company fails to retain good talent because of its nature of providing job security and gaining tons with just that added advantage. It's a company for retirement not when you are starting your career. It shows you within a year what you will go through and soon you will leave the firm....Read More

Nothing to like about this company. It's fully a crap company.

Dislikes

Working at TCS felt like being trapped in a system that doesn't value talent or individuality. You’re just a resource ID in a massive machinery where career growth depends more on politics and favoritism than skill or hard work. I was thrown into a role I never chose, given irrelevant trainings, and denied any opportunity to switch to something aligned with my background. The bureaucracy is exhausting, the HR is unresponsive, and the management treats employees like replaceable parts. Recognition is a joke, hikes are laughable, and innovation is almost non-existent. It’s a place where dreams go to die if you don’t escape in time....Read More
