Join TCS if you are not too ambitious about good work & money in short-term

IT Analyst (Current Employee)
Mumbai

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

ProsWork-life balance
Medical coverage for parents
Onsite
Longer you stay, bigger you become in TCS and benefits(monetary+personal) shall come automatically..but you have to be good in politics and making connections with powerful guys.

ConsSalary is less but you can equalize it with onsite if you are lucky.
Too many processes and bureaucracy
Politics increases many fold as you move into management.
Cheap policies like getting rid of paper napkins in restrooms etc for cost cutting.
Lack of verbal appreciation & lot of favoritism

Advice to Senior ManagementDecrease bureaucracy, try to make everyone work in TCS just do not rely on couple of top notch resources for delivery.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

ConsMiddle management for bureaucracy, bad politics, favoritism.

Advice to Senior ManagementEmployee satisfaction leads the company and is the key for growth, individuals work and effort should be fairly justified.
Band policy should be reviewed and the higher ('A') and lower bands ('D', 'E') should include client, management approvals for making the process better, and to align the expectations of the Client for to make the relationship better. It should not be left on few hands who are judged on voices not on work.

Career progression is painfully slow.
Appraisal system for researchers is not very good, owing to the wrong kind of yardsticks applied.
