Tata's lost its touch? TCS ain't what it used to be :-(
Tata is not the same after Sir Ratan Tata! TCS used to really look after its employees, even when they were on the bench. Now, things have changed and it's disappointing.

Salaries are not so good , that's a great disappointing factor. If you care about the Salary more its not a great place to be. The resource allocation is bad as well. Depend on yourself and look out for the employees working on the Tech you want to be approach them and get pooled.

Only good thing now left @TCS is that it provides learning opportunities and higher limit for hospitalization.

Dislikes

No salary hikes for seniors despite good rating,lot of screwing policies, poor Admin services, you will not even get proper tea without paying. Now there is no job security with current policy change. Promotions are quite difficult and no much salary hike on Promotions. It is a hell life for mid level people technical or others.Getting hike of 1% every year despite of good band. Juniors get 7-8 %. It is a clear message from management to leave for mid experience level. TCS is not the same which I joined 13 years back.
