Tata Consultancy Services Reviews in Bangalore, India Area

Pros

If you want to go onsite. Only Pro, This is the only way you can make money at TCS.

Cons

1. Senior Management is incapable
2. TCS sucks every penny or should I say Paisa out of the employee. Never pays the employees well
3. You will almost most definitely be placed into a project which is not of your choice. Even if there is a project which you would like to join, TCS will place you into a project which is critical for them and does not consider your preference.
4.No Team outings or any other incentive for the employee after completing a Project successfully.
5. No Non-Veg in the Canteen . BIG MISTAKE !
6. Hardly any training's.
7. Majority of TCS Projects are Support !
8. You would have to work in shifts if the project requires it. You have no choice.
9. No Laptops
10. No work From Home.
11. Many of the Senior management are employees who have been at TCS for more than 15-25 years (Mostly Graduate hires), so they do not know how other companies function but TCS. Very narrow minded.
