I have been with TCS for last three years. Liked the fact that I was provided so much freedom to pursue whatever technology I wanted to learn. They even don’t mind if you want to totally change your stream.
Very helpful in that context. Flexible working hours. Good managers(if you are lucky). Again, ’freedom’. They don’t pressurize you so much. Not so much of burden on you unless deadlines.
However only setbacks are if you are unlucky, you will not get good seniors, as you know Forbes said immediate seniors are the most important factor why employees stay in company. So not competent seniors means less learning. And environment is not stimulating so if you are really concerned about your growth as well apart from company’s. Then you will need to be vigilant and proactive to get hands on learning opportunities. They don’t spoon-feed you.
My verdict - Great workplace if you know what you want to do, else better find a job where learning and growth is spoon-fed to you.
