Resource management and project management has no respect towards employees especially lateral joiners.
Experienced professionals are billed for freshers role and responsibilities.
Inconsistent mapping of technical skills, experience into projects.

You bill experienced professionals for freshers role.....
Your project managers and resource managers treat laterals like thrash.. disrespect them like anything.....please share the business trick that continues to make you Top IT company in India.

Pros

Amazing knowledge sharing facilities, awesome customer delivery processes

Cons

Very competitive environment in terms of employee reviews

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

The work is not so demanding and it is always easy to get some time to familiarize with the work content. In general it's good for freshers.

Cons

No interesting work available. Nothing engineering or innovative ever gets done in TCS. Honestly I do not know why they hire engineers.

Advice to Senior Management

Increase the pay package. The competitors just offer far better in terms of work, pay and benefits. Most people look for a change after a year or two.

Pros

Job security
Pride of being associated with a giant corporate house
Global exposure

Cons

Bureaucratic culture because of size of organization
Limited opportunities for accelerated growth
Pay levels below market standards

Pros

It still has the best environment, compared with those in other IT services bigwigs in India, except the likes of IBM, Sasken and Ness, which are even better. If you have the right chemistry with your boss, the Software Engineering excellence of the TCS universe opens up to you.

Cons

You can get lost in the ocean of TCS - this can happen as a rookie as well as a veteran - unless you have a real mentor (which is extremely rare). True innovation and creativity are unimportant to the management unless you are somebody's somebody, and this covers all organisational functions.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn leading. Stop managing. If you can't do that, prevent others from saying you're part of the leadership team.

Pros

Biggest Software firm in India
Lot of projects

Cons

Lack of recognition
Lack of professionalism

Advice to Senior Management

Be equipped to see the future requirements

Pros

Flexible work hours, can balance both professional and social life,

Cons

Salary not ok, the nature of work does not require very genius candidates for certain projects.. so finally the project in which you work decides your career..

Advice to Senior Management

Salary should be decent.. atleast for those who work longer with tcs

Pros

- Open Structure, u can challenge your boss and live to see another day
- Free room for thought.
- new ideas appreciated.
- You can get away with it, if you are not interested in working
- If you can dream, deliver then no one stops you. Its your baby..

Cons

- Compensation not market standards
- Promotions not by merit but Seniority, however worthless the person is
- Lot of senior people sitting around doing nothing.

Advice to Senior Management

Clear communication. A lot of talent will leave, if you don't know how to separate grain from chaff....
