Life at TCS

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

TCS is a good place to start for an Indian engineer from any engineering background. Work gets boring after a couple of gyears unless you get into some good project with scope for professional growth. There are Good opportunities for onsite early on in the career which allows one to grow personally as well. Some good people are present in the comapny who make life easier to deal with in the company. Probably TCS is the best in its class in Indian software companies.If you know the correct people this is a good place to grow. If not life will be completely doomed.

Cons

low cost adantage - so low salary promotions are few and far difficult to change domains/projects

Good place for freshers & high level management.

Pros

It is a truly indian company. They try to bring about a sense of family among the associates in the company. They have wonderful people in the higher management who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Being part of the TATA family, you have an oppurtunity to participate in their TAS program, which is the best training ever for future managers.

Cons

Some where between the top most management and a regular associate, the really good changes that they try to implement, are lost. Its like the game "passing the secret", at the end more often than not, the last person to implement the change always does it wrong. I wish the mid level managers were atleast half as good as the top level: There would atleast be a little order in the company.
