Pros

Stable income and I was lucky to work remotely.

Cons

I've had a challenging experience working at TCS, and there are several key areas that have contributed to my dissatisfaction with the company. Communication: One of the biggest issues I've encountered is the poor communication within the organization. It was often difficult to find the right person to reach out to for help or guidance, which made navigating the company frustrating. My "manager" rarely communicated with me, leaving me feeling unsupported and disconnected from the team. Project Assignment: Despite being hired as a Software Engineer, I was placed on a project that felt more like IT support work. The tasks I was assigned were not aligned with the role I was hired for, and the project lacked value in terms of contributing to my growth as a developer. Compensation: The pay at TCS is low, especially considering the expectations and demands of the role. This made it difficult to feel motivated or valued as an employee. Appraisal System: The appraisal system at TCS is another area that I found problematic. The process involves setting goals in a portal, but the evaluation of your performance is done by someone who you may have never worked with during the project. This random evaluation determines your grade and, in turn, your bonus, which feels unfair and disconnected from the actual work you’ve done. Overall, my experience at TCS has been disappointing due to these factors. I believe there are significant improvements that could be made in communication, project alignment, compensation, and performance evaluation to create a more supportive and rewarding environment for employees.

Pros

No pros... Please do not join this company. You will come to kill your professional career. I am still having issues with the IRS due to their unprofessionalism.

Cons

I don't know how they sleep at night

Pros

Steady paycheck and you probably won't be fired unless you really mess up.

Cons

There is a lot of down time at the Milford, OH office. I'm pretty sure TCS Milford wouldn't gain any new clients if they were allowed to see what actually goes on in the areas of the building they aren't taken to. The management will even ask employees to occupy desks along the client tour route in order to make it seem like there is actually work going on. Advancement within the company isn't based on ones skills or hard work. A lot of the people that are in management positions at TCS Milford are pretty much just suck ups. The employees with best skill sets and education don't stay with company for long because they know their careers will not go anywhere by staying with the company. The project managers are always shipped here from India. It seems as though they don't trust the local hires with project management. These managers prefer to give any important work to their Indian co-workers. So basically don't expect to be assigned any challenging work if you're a local hire. Also, don't expect to receive a higher salary if you have a graduate degree. You'll receive the same salary as the other members of the batch of new hires that you're in. Also, don't expect a raise if you complete a graduate degree after you've joined the company.
