Pros

Remote Work provides flexibility to those who need it.

Cons

Where do I begin: 1. Pay/Benefits are not competitive with Big 4 and some boutique consulting firms. 2. Dishonest senior leadership - recent layoff was done without notice, reasonable severance, or other common courtesies. 3. Lack of Diversity - all of the executive leadership team are Indian men...it trickles down to lower levels where other demographic groups are excluded from opportunities. 4. Lack of Advancement - there's been a hiring "freeze" for over 4 years now. 5. Lack of Identity (Low Cost Outsourcer vs SI/Consulting Firm) - TCS is stuck in bottom line mentality... leaning on low overseas labor as their competitive advantage. This leads to a lack of vision, investment in employees, and effort to differentiate or deliver quality products. 6. Many others... too many to list.

Pros

Free bootcamps, initial training. You get to work remotely, flexible hours.

Cons

No one knows each other, it's hard to get into contact with someone. They do not pay you back for certifications; I had to ask 500 times and they ever answered or followed up after some time. You end up doing the bottom of the barrel work for a client. Not a great career to grow long term. Ultimatix is probably the most buggy and sketchy website known to man. All of their mobile apps are terrible. I can go on. I am very happy to be free from them finally, but I should have done it sooner.

Pros

Company provides options for basic medical, Dental and Vision coverage for their FTEs at split cost. Other options such as short-term disability are only available if the employee pays 100% of the premium. If you were grandfathered in as long-term or previous client employee, then expect to receive special treatment as you’re considered one of the cronies. Everyone else is SOL!

Cons

I was onboarded with this company toward the end of 2022 and lasted all of 6 months. Primarily because of two separate thought processes that run in parallel among management. (1) Old-school mindset of staff that were rebadged from the client (2) external staff who were onboarded externally and provided with a different agenda. This caused significant infighting and I would walk around every day knowing there was an element of personnel waiting to stick knives into my back, no matter the cost. Most of these people are callous, narcissistic, and short-sighted with a huge resistance to changing their mindset. It became apparent early in my tenure that my days were numbered, and I even began searching for a different employer after only a couple months on the job. Return To Office (RTO) was a joke and special treatment was given to the cronies while more newer employees hired directly by TCS were held to a different standard. This effort was eventually placed on pause due to excessive attrition. After the old-school staff realized they couldn’t get rid of me on performance, I was eventually set-up by a trifling female Supervisor on harassment/Conduct violation accusations. This was a mutual relationship but her knowing when it is a male vs. female, guess who is the one to be shown the door. She should be ashamed of herself, but I believe in Karma. Hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of fun and fame! Savor the flavor because it doesn’t last. Anyone applying to this company should proceed with caution! Very toxic and low-class environment. Case in point, half the employees are married but don’t have a problem cheating on their significant others. I witnessed this firsthand!
