The perception of company depends on the project you are in . This company is great when you learn in a project and work environment is good . But when you get yourself landed in a project in which work culture is toxic and people are not very professional, then that is a trouble . I have worked in both kinds of project . In one I was learning something new everyday , and people were quite professional. But in another project, Which was support work culture was very toxic and there was nothing to learn . Each and everyday spent in that project seemed like waste of time to me .

...yalty that I showed since I joined as a fresher and served for 6 and half years. From the mere salary that I get and the FFS, the notice period shortfall was deducted. I am unhappy with the TATA brand!

No skill development and salary hike. Also internal politics are there. The one who butter manager will get hike and the one who works will get more works. In the case of skill development, there's few good projects in TCS and all others can not even considered as a support projects. With an average TCS experience,you need to lie in your resume or do some other interships/courses to crack a good job

Little job security unless and until you don't violate company security policy noone will fire you.

  • Job security - Good

Dislikes

Paying low salary to existing employees and hiring outside candidates in average package. And giving yearly hike of just 2-3% however in media they will show 7-10% sometimes more. Higher management doesn't bother about you. They want their work done. Most of the higher management company working on toxic behaviour. A lot of people are on bench some are since year. Average bench period 3months min. Doesn't have anything any project.

Work culture is amazing. Work life balance is also great. But with someone like me who needs work and wants to constantly learn, tcs wasn’t the place to start. It’s good for mid level careers, not for freshers.
