Why never join TCS thread<2>

Continuation from thread 1..

I even had to contribute along with the team apart from reporting to sync the gap due to the false reporting done earlier.

I worked on weekend with no comp or additional pay for it. Once suddenly the executable files for project started getting deleted because of some flagging done by the cyber security for no reason. 2-3 were not able to even work for almost 12 days making it even more difficult to meet the deadlines.

My request for a backup laptop for the project to utilize it for running and scoring the automated scripts was also declined saying as per TCS standards they cannot give i7 laptop and they cannot provide 32 gb ram as well for laptop as per TCS standards.

I was told I can get at max I5 and 16gb ram. After requesting for a month I was told it wud take 6 months minimum.

There was not time to wait as deadlines were approaching, I took only 2 leaves as the team needed my support.

We were able to complete the project on time. Then reviews were done from client and fixes work was given and we were asked to incorporate some new changes which were not in scope which was also completed.

On my wedding anniversary I travelled to nagpur on 2 day leave to celebrate with my Wife. On first day manager called me and asked to join client call as he knew he cannot answer any technical queries from client which I did.

Next day he called me and requested for a meeting while I was having lunch in restaurant. He wanted to prepare presentation to the client for the work done and additional work resulted due to new changes. The meeting extended for 4 hours and he was even suggesting me to install outlook on mobile and send him screenshots of evidences for changes.

They got 11 Lakh dollars billing for it and customer even agreed to give non safety critical requirements work to us.

But later due to budget constraints from client the account was closed and I was released.

Then I was given C rating with 0.5% hike

I joined TCS as a 10 year experienced professional in Railroad Domain.

I was hired for a railroad domain project and much to my surprise they had a big account in the same domain with people not having any experience in it.
