What is Tata Consultancy Services reputation? I have an interview with them tomorrow but I’m really on the fence about it. I’ve heard mixed things and am looking for additional perspective. Thanks!

Other threads have referred to WITCH (Wipro, Infosys, Tata, Cognizant, HCL) as "the gulag of professional services."

Due to the nature of their business, much of the grunt work is offshore, but US employees are exceptionally expensive in comparison to the bulk of the workforce, leading to high expectations in terms of working hours. There is also somewhat of a contemptuous view of your expense as a US consultant vs others who, in their view, can do the same work.

Upside: due to the smaller US workforce, it may be easier to be visible and advance in your career faster than other firms with a hard cohort model.

Ultimately, reputation is less respected than B4, ACN et al, though you may find more money through faster momentum and progression.

If you already know a few people there, it could be a worthwhile move, but if you're solely collecting brand names there are better choices.

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TE-DL Data Platforms Team/Project in KGS. My joining date is 11th April and I will be part of this team.

I was interviewed for a major tech player in the hospitality industry, had 2 interviews which for the first one the recruiter was late, and didn't confirm the interview while I emaild her to make sure I do have an interview. When she attended she said that there was no point of responding my email as we are meeting anyway. Later on I had 2nd interview with the hiring manager. After 45 minutes she said they will let me know...

2 months later and I am still waiting...

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs
