Good job stability, but work poor distribution - Systems Engineer Tata Consultancy Services Employee Review

Pros

Good job stability and bouquet of benefits.

Cons

1. The distribution is work is really screwed - they are many who don't get assigned enough work and then there are others who are assigned a boat load - and just loaded more on. 2. Performance review and upward mobility is heavily politicized and has nothing to do with the actual performance. 3. Few projects and people are really toxic, they have a heavy handed hierarchy - which makes it impossible to convey ideas and some project straight up gaslight employees. 4. They are not that welcoming of new ideas or new technology. And R&D at individual level is impossible to contribute with.

Pros

Large client base. Talented people, have "cracked the code" on offshoring development and support.

Cons

For anyone used to working in US-based firms, the culture and politics will be difficult to understand and navigate. Internal policies and systems focus on the offshore delivery center model. Roles in the US do not fit into that mold, and obtaining approvals for simple expenses can require weeks and insanely high approval chains given the size of TCS. I needed approval from a global division head (a CEO direct-report) just to pay for a short training course. Missions of different departments are not clearly defined, so overlap and conflict are common.
