Worst policies - Associate Consultant TCS Employee Review

1. There is no increment for the first 2 years. For example, if you join now (April 2024), you will receive your first increment in April 2026. 2. The increment percentage averages around 4-5%. If you are in the C band or lower, your salary might decrease. 3. TCS is now mandating employees to work from the office for 5 days, (9 hours per day) 4. No additional benefits are provided, such as Diwali gifts/bonuses or rewards for outstanding project contributions. 5. Employees in grade C3 or higher may lose their quarterly variable pay. 6. All employees may see a reduction in their quarterly variable/performance pay if they don't comply with policies, especially WFO policy. 7. TCS is a cheater, they promised full WFH policy, then 25-25 model - now they forget every promise. They are utilising the current bad market to enforce employees to follow these bad policies
