TCS is no more a Tata company it is Tamil Consultancy Services

Associate Consultant (Current Employee)
Mumbai (India)

I have been working at Tata Consultancy Services full-time for more than 10 years

ProsWork Life Balance, Good policies by TATA about medicare, Average Salaries, Good exposure to Projects, Onsite

ConsWorst kind of Politics, Too much tussle between internal departments (e.g. EIS vs ISU), Pathetic HR, RMG, Promotions are too difficult purely on Merit basis,

Advice to Senior ManagementStop cutting corners for each and every penny.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Only company where your salary can go down also!!!

IT Analyst (Current Employee)
Chennai (India)

I have been working at Tata Consultancy Services full-time for more than 7 years

ProsPlenty of projects on various domains and technologies.

Cons1)Ratings are never put based on your performance. They try to fit the bell curve thats it and you could be the unlucky one. In case of a lower rating your salary reduces.
2) TOO much POLITICS, to the level you can get crushed easily if you dont take steps.

Advice to Senior ManagementHow can you reduce someones salary ?? Pleas fix this. There are other ways to deal with low performers.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Prosjob security is the only positive aspect of a job in TCS. Usually you wouldn't be fired unless you do something overtly bad.
