Supportive project management but uncertain job security - Consultant Tata Consultancy Services Employee Review

Pros

When they assign you to a project, they will not bother you too much about your work unless the client gives negative feedback, then they will get you to go for courses to enhance yourself (not very useful imo).

Cons

Have to attend too many compulsory courses that are irrelevant to my scope of work at the client's site. The interface is not very user-friendly and it's just too time consuming to complete the courses. Also, once your project is ending, there are too many uncertainties (i.e. they said they will try to find a suitable project for you, but there is usually none and they will try to buy time by negotiating with client). Moreover, the bench period has been changed to only 1 month. If you don't get your next project, you will be served a termination letter (1 mth).

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.
