Cons of TCS Culture
1. Low Salary Growth – TCS offers lower salary increments compared to product-based companies. Even promotions come with modest hikes.
2. Slow Career Growth – Promotions are time-based and bureaucratic. Even high performers may take years to move up.
3. Bureaucratic & Rigid Processes – Hierarchical approval chains slow down decision-making and limit flexibility.
4. Project Dependency – Your experience depends on the project. Some projects involve outdated tech or monotonous maintenance work.
5. Variable Workload – Some projects have a relaxed pace, while others require long hours and weekend work, especially during deployments.
