Why TCS stopped Re hiring ex TCSers? Is this going to be a part of their policy forever?
You cannot say that it will be their policy forever because policy can change within night. TCS stop rehiring ex-TCSER.This is correct.First of all, people come in tcs with the base that they have security in TCS rather than other company.They stay 2 years and switch to other company with higher package.For example after completion of 2 years your salary will be 4.5 L. Now when they go to other company they will take minimum 25% hike. It will be 5.62L. Now people again staty their 2 years and again come to TCS for salary hike and security.Now this time they will get minimum 40%.Now the current employee salary is 7.87L. In this salary TCS can use 3 freshers and also take billing for 3 people which is greater than ex-TCSer.Take my one advice my friend. IF you have skill you can work in any company. So dont think that if TCS stop taking ex-TCS er , it will spoil your career. Take it as challenge. Kudos!!! :)
What is the dark side of a job at TCS?
Oh I'd love to write this.I'm a Computer Science Engineering graduate. It all started with a campus recruitment in our college. They had a target of recruiting around 300 students. To make this happen, they called out candidates from every branch possible. So you see, students from Civil engineering and mechanical engineering etc. also appeared.Their recruitment strategy, like any other company, had two rounds. Written test and interview. Whoever does well in written test will get qualified to personal interview. But guess what. All those who had their PU score more than 80% were qualified directly. Without the test.Now, the personal interview questions were like Which is your favorite subject? Do you know programming? How many programs have you written till today? Etc etc etc...With this standard of interviews, they made their target to about 280 guys.Now the real fun begins. They broke 280 people into two batches, and put one of the batches to something called Application Support. Not even the technical side of it. More worse, some even had to attend calls just like BPO's and deal with customers and their problems on how to use this product.So the great TCS hired a hundred and a half Engineers and made them do a job that even a metric pass can do.This is not all. All of them are working in night shifts.So basically, all that my friends had learnt in 4 years of graduation was dumped into pure bullshit, thereby spoiling their lives forever.Thanks to my poor math skills. I didn't make it in the written test.
