If you are getting hired as a QA or tester through BPS or CMCOE, dont fall for it.

Pros

1. TCS is a good company having safe jobs. 2. If you get selected in proper TCS then go for it.

Cons

Got selected in TCS through BPS(aka CMCOE). Initially thought all the policies are same throughout the tcs but here comes the trap. You get hired through BPS and your policies are different(as per BPO policies) as compared to IT employees. There are many differences but let me put top ones that matter the most 1. In IT after 4 years of exp you are at Higher grade than that of 8 years of exp in BPS. 2. Due to these grades you are not eligible for any of the onsite opportunities. 3. Promotion cycle is too long. Eg. I am at BPO3(C1 grade) level and it will take 5 years for me to go BPO4(C2 grade). In IT, it is 1 year. 4. Basic salary is absolutely minimum(>9000) irrespective of your package. 5. Limited clients or accounts associated with BPS. You are not allowed to apply beyond those.

Pros

They have a vast network of jobs throughout the company meaning you could stay withing the same company your whole life.

Cons

I spent a lot of time being paid for doing nothing, that's why I left. It is large and unorganised, it can take a while to get the simplest thing done and I've also heard second hand of disrespect targeted at new graduates.

Pros

No such Pros . Managers try to bully u

Cons

I joined TCS in March at Chicago location. After two months my manager is harassing me mentally and tried to hold my hand . The people are professionally unethical and they are super racist as they only appreciate people and promote people from their community like Chennai etc .. The Management have no knowledge they are more interested in your personal life and if you are a female watch out for your safety
