Finally the day has come, leaving my job at Tata Consulting (TCS) for better opportunities. Been there for 8 months and possibly worst 8 months of my career. Joined them from a Big 4 , decision which I still regret (yes the posts warning about WITCH companies are very true).
And not just me many others regret and looking for exit (which comes hard with Tata on CV). So if you get approached by TCS or someone from their CS&I or CST teams etc you have been warned.

What are some of the things about WITCH companies that are true?

As someone who has partnered with WITCH firms on multiple clients: talent is straight up awful, massive corporate red tape that I haven’t seen anywhere else, backend systems from the early 00s, more turnover than a McDonald’s restaurant

External recruiter reached out for TCS the other day and asked me why I wouldn’t consider. Big 4 isn’t great, but I feel like it’s better to stick around

Don’t go, most probably you may end up like me.
And that salary hike is not going to go very far as their yearly hikes are very poor. People been there for some time tell that it’s hardly 2 percent for good performance. So once you are in forget the hikes.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
