Tata Consultancy Services reviews

The Management could have been better - The promotion system is flawed. People wait endless months to get a promotion although the work they are doing deserves them to be in a promoted rank long back. In fact, you will find a lot of people working in a grade which is NOT APPROPRIATE for the nature of work they are doing. The variable pay system is also flawed to an extent, although measures are being adopted to make it more open and transparent. I don't find it surprising that good and talented people leave TCS simply because they were not getting a good variable pay (because their appraisal ranking was low) for a considerable length of time. There is no direct connection between a person's true capability and the ranking (leads to variable pay package) he gets. Thankfully, towards my last months in TCS, I saw management taken steps to make the appraisal process more open and effective for the employees.

bureaucracy, favouritism especially since management is a of particular region. Long projects so same work for ages. No thinking and challenges posted on job. Incompetitive management. No transparency in anything. No communication by management. Performance appreciation totally based on dependency in coming assignment and your ability to keep your manager happy by accepting whatever he says and never expressing any of your views. No freedom to exercise your ideas. Almost no growth and low salaries.
