Tata Consultancy Services reviews

Too many politics across all directions of the organization. Decisions do not happen in a timely fashion, and if they do happen they take place in a vaccum. Sadly, there is an "us" vs. "them" mentality. It is an unspoken rule that Indian employees receive better treatment than the local hires hired in the US. Internal processes are a mess - it takes employees 4+ weeks to receive expense reimbursements (money that they have already fronted out of their own pockets), payroll department is a myth, benefits administration is disorganized and the performance appraisal process is a nightmare that you just can't wake yourself up from. If I could turn back time, I would have definitely re-considered joining TCS America.

Package is not good compared to other companies. Promotion takes a long time and there is a lot of partiality done in terms of performance appraisals. Lately promotion policy is not clear. Due to the number of employess, HR to employee ratio has decreased. Performance appraisals are done keeping in mind the project billing. So if you are good but in a small project with limited growth capability, you are bound to get a low rating. Doing account level actvities help in getting a higher rating but you will rarely find time when working in client location. TCS doesn't pay extra hours. So even if you are working your rears of, keep in mind you are going to get the low wage.
