TCS SURVEY SAYS


A melting pot


TCS is notable for its “blended” culture of staffers from East and West, with a dominant “Indian-American mix.”  We’re told that “there have been challenges” combining these two cultures, but as one director reports, “This appears to be headed in the right direction.”  “The company places great emphasis on attempting to bridge the communication gap across all staff levels in an effort to enable cohesive working environments,” notes a staffer in Denver.  Others say the atmosphere is “highly collaborative,” “accommodating” and “cordial.”

Tips from the inside

Don’t hold your breath


Prospective TCS applicants should be prepared to wait a while before getting news about a job offer.  Sources tell us that the firm’s hiring process is “drawn out,” “somewhat chaotic,” “slow” and “deliberate.”  One new hire reports, “It took nine months for me to be hired,” although that’s not to say there’s an overwhelming number of interviews; in fact, the standard seems to be around three.  “While the number of interviews was reasonable,” notes a staffer in New York, “the time to a decision was long.”  A colleague adds that the “paperwork process is extensive.”
