    I have recently got an opportunity in TCS as an IT Project Manger Infrastructure, with a 30% hike. The job needs me to shift to Pune I am presently working in Telstra as Project specialist and have the opportunity of hybrid working. Which was allowing me to work from anywhere. Will it be a wise decision to join TCS looking at my current facility from my present company. Also if requested does TCS hr allows an initial grace period of 6 months to work from anywhere and then join office.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. You may get exposure to new technologies.

      Cons

      Vision is not clear. Keep going with T22, T25 targets without knowing what's the target. A few leaders do not believe in team building and expect only one skilled people can deliver business needs. India leadership is spineless.

    Culture
    Meet Sharon, Telstra's Service Delivery Principal for People & Workplace Services. "I think one of the unique things about Telstra’s culture is the openness of discussions about mental health and wellbeing. People genuinely care and check in on their managers, colleagues, and team members if something is different or doesn’t feel right. Its OK to not be OK sometimes and being able to talk about it."

    Employee Story
    How we’re setting sustainability in motion Telstra-wide. Meet Justine, Telstra's Sustainability External Affairs and Legal Executive. "My primary motivation for moving into the corporate world as a lawyer was getting closer to the outcomes I was influencing. I’m very purpose-driven and as a leader, my overarching goal is to make a difference – to the people I work with, the business and my community. I have an amazing opportunity in my role at Telstra to do that. We know we have the power to make a real difference to the planet, and I’ve loved spearheading our drive for sustainability across both our own business and the communities around us. We’ve already set ambitious climate change targets and are focussed on harnessing technology to improve our environmental performance – through creating green products, services, and operations. Now, we’re looking at how we can have an even greater impact by partnering with others to achieve sustainability outcomes at scale." Read more about Justine's experience below.
