TCS is not a place for long term job

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

to understand the internals of outsourcing, or to begin the IT career. And it is also a good place to know how the Indian IT companies do businesses.

Cons

the company has a very attractive slogan of vision, mission and values. but they were never got deployed in the branch I am working in. caring and sharing which it supposed to do, actually is a joke. as we think, a good employer should always encourage employee to contribute more, and will award employee more in return, but the award is never there. And the appraisal system/process itself is not place of recognitions. the managers can easily interfere it anytime.

Its about time the senior management reviewed themselves.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the big shot companies in India, but not for long if they move at this pace! Wonderful employees at the effort level, but they leave too soon - the company does nothing to retain them which clearly show that the company does not care!

Cons

Has the most ridiculous management policies, ineffective middle management who contribute very less to quality of work delivered due to technical incompetency (even though there are training opportunities), hard-working employees at the effort level - mostly fresh graduates and post-graduates with zeal and enthusiasm to contribute well, but their skills are not tapped well! Farcical, ill-balanced appraisal and performance measuring process.
