Mississauga, ON (Canada)

Former Employee – worked at Tata Consultancy Services full-time for more than 3 years

ProsOpportunities working on mission critical systems. I was able to travel extensively thanks to TCS. Also I learned about the financial industry from the ground up. They encourage associates to take certifications and improve their skills.

ConsAs an outsourcing company they don't own the systems they support therefore there is a glass ceiling for a TCS resource working for a bank or a financial services firm. The accounting, finance and admin departments are very disorganized. It can take months for expenses to get reimbursed.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat people as assets, not as numbers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Toronto, ON (Canada)

Current Employee – been working at Tata Consultancy Services full-time for more than 8 years

ProsA big organization.To scale heights , you have to strive really hard and that is the best thing about this org.Best place to start with your career.

ConsWith its enormous size , it is always very difficult to get noticed.Before the information percolates to the 'downstream' , it would have gone through multiple filterings. So dont believe anything and everything what you hear.

Advice to Senior ManagementEmployees are working 'with' you not 'for' you.
Organization & its value are not only measured by its net worth & profit margin , it is also measured on the attitude & morale of the employees who form a part of this organization.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
