Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

Typically I never see an interviewer turn up on time.  I mean it's like you spend an hour or more beating the traffic, and then locating the venue, and then trying to find a place to park your vehicle.  After all the trouble, you find that the interviewer is "busy" so please wait.

Sometimes the wait turns out so annoying, when you see the staff there running around busy or rather "looking busy". No one bothers to answer your query, they are just running around.

Some interviewers just try to bully you. Even when you are right, they are hell bent on proving you are wrong. Of course there are some who will try putting you down as much as they can, to the extent of destroying your confidence. That itself is a red flag never to join that company.

Worst experience I had with TCS, the panel was filled with some old uncles, who kept asking everything except what was related to my field. Yeah once was asked about bridges too.

The walk in drives are the worst of the lot. More often than not chaotic and messy, stand in long Qs, some volunteers trying to look important. And endless wait for your turn. Go to one of them be prepared to spend all day there.

Do share your interview experiences.

Desi Interview Experiences

I often get calls from TCS for hiring and this is happening from past 3 years, they collect educational and professional details then just mention...sorry you did distance learning in your graduation...they are not even bothered about professional career of 11 years and companies I have worked for...not even bothered about taking an interview and then based on that rejecting a candidate....thier pathetic policy is to ask candidates whether you did distance learning and if the answer is yes... directly no to you... people who does distance learning due to financial issues are not supposed to get a job from MNCs?? I have worked in 3 MNCs none of them asked me this pathetic question...they all evaluated me on the basis of my knowledge.

Pathetic TCS policy

What is the worst boss you’ve ever had?

Living in Bangalore is like participating in a daily obstacle course of stupidity these days. It's like the city is hosting the World Championships of Not Using Common Sense. Day by day, it’s getting crazy in here. People are literally just straight-away stupid.

Picture this: I'm in the metro, following the line like some good boii. But no, here come the backline breakers, sprinting ahead like they just got the memo that the free WiFi is about to expire. They won’t even have the patience to let others deboard from the station (bs ghusna hai sbko).

On the road: Small Aile is there, and these morons either walk in the middle of the road or walk slowly like they are going to maaiyat. There is no way to even overtake them.

One day a couple was literally just standing in the middle of the fucking metro entry gate, and all other people were going from sides. I was literally at my fucking limits; I controlled the urge to ask them that whatever shit they're discussing, if that is a national concern, then it’s okay; otherwise, please fuck around on the side.

And what’s up with this throwing garbage on the road thing, literally every morning on the road, tons of food, spillage, and disposals of whatnot can be seen. God, please throw it in the trash.

What's your take on the acceptance of tattoos at workplaces and among people in 2023?

After talking to multiple friends. Here is the ranking//

1. Accenture:
Probably the best of WITCHA squad, WLB is okay and clients are probably better than what you would get in other companies. Your mileage may vary but pay and career progression is better than the rest. 

2. Cognizant:
Not half as bad. Decent clients and sub-par pay but why are they even sponsoring an F1 team? Very vanilla and don't feel strongly about it.

3. Capgemini:
Now this is where it begins. The company is okay. The pay is sub-par and WLB is shit. But they are a professional bunch and won't gang up on you like the ones below in this list.

4. TCS:
Now this is the OG of the gang,. The WLB is shit and the pay is much worse but for key advance tech you can get paid decently well. HR has a tendency to pay Rs.10 more than your current CTC if it is a run of the mill role but what can i say "it is just the bare minimum in this industry now."

5. Infosys:
Sorry but the Murthy Family white-washing their image with all this paid PR while underpaying their employees is the absolute hypocrisy. Shit policies and Shit pay. Have worked here before and working here made a small part of me die every single day here.

6. Wipro:
Either their pitching team is shit or what but they can only win the absolute worst projects. It is still okay if you work at AI Labs or other small teams with better resources and leverage. The hikes here are non-existent and as per my friends you would be non bench for quite long because their staffing team is yuck.


7. HCL: 
The worst for the last. This is the real cesspool of them all. Somehow they get the worst of the worst projects, where support work is the max with no documentation on any of these projects. They once offered a friend of mine lower pay than current salary and effectively said that you are overpaid and this is market standards. I would rather work for no pay at a startup than HCL.

What are your thoughts on future of work? Is it necessary for employees to be in office?

TCS asks employees to come back to office!!!

Planning to buy a laptop bag for office as well as simple travelling like between cities. Any good suggestions? Only criteria is should be water proof and fit 2 15.6 laptops, plus if it looks a little bit stylish as well.

So far I have narrowed down the 2 below options

1. MI Business Casual 21L Water Resistant Laptop Backpack - 900 rs
2. KIPTACK 30L Laptop Backpack with Number Lock & USB Port | Anti Theft Backpack with Shoe Pocket & Rain Cover | 15.6-inch Laptop Backpack for Women/Men - 2400

PS - didn't post links since I'm not sure if it's allowed, anything upto to 2.5k should be okay

Suggestions for office laptop bag

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido.

I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" 
I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this.

Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops.

Have you faced such things in this city?

Do not join TCS at the early stage of life with a low salary with expectations that it will grow after a year or two. Promotions are very slow. 
Also promotions do not depend on your performance, even if you perform outstanding you might end up getting a 2% hike. Not worth it right. 
Promotions totally depend upon your behavior with your TL and manager. Even if the person does not work but does the chamchagiri of them it works. 
Once the project you are working in RAMPS Down the RMG people helps to ruin your life after that. RMG in Tcs needs proper training to allocate the manpower to proper process. 
Any queries comment below..

TCS organises an internal exam called "Wings 1" by which the new joiners can double up their salary. (They get extra incentives, it's added as a separate item in Salary Slip).

• No Fairness
• No transparency 
, just hope so that you get stuck in the loop.

So they organise this 3 times in a year so that they can cover the whole year. (Selling Hope of Getting Cleared Every Cycle).

> A few months back they changed rules as most of the people were on the verge of clearing it.
> There is no particular syllabus for most of the exams.
> If you are on the verge of clearing Required Tracks, you will potentially end up getting failed in one of them for sure.(you'll never know why !)
> There's no marking scheme.
> The exam centres are 50-60KMs away.
> You can't even see how many marks you scored.
> The Result comes after a month, that too is sometimes delayed.(This is the same TCS which organises JEE etc exams).
> If more people are clearing, they reshuffle marks (Happened in Earlier Cycle).
> Even after so many obstacles if you clear it: if your manager gives you C band it goes away...

they call themselves employee friendly 😂.

Most of the new joiners get stuck in this cycle & end up losing their precious time.

Someone should raise this issue. It should be in NEWS.

*********If someone is writing article on this then i can share SSs of Dashboard in ample amount which proves my point........

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days-
