– One of our friend undergoing ILP @ TCS

TCS Recent Update:   

OCTOBER 28,2010

• Proud to be a TCSer
  

1. You will feel proud that you are a part of an organization that brought India among top global business countries.

2. Will feel respect that other person will have it for you once you say that  “You are working for TCS “

3. Power of signature , which has hardly any significance few months back but can now fetch Lakhs from any bank .

4. Power of Official email ID -> It is said that whenever you send mail from TCS  email id you are not representing yourself, you are also representing TCS. so once it is misused and sent to client , it may terminate the project and can cause loss for TCS ,in terms of million of dollars.

5. Feeling that life is not all about getting pass in ILP,but u will feel life is all bout going one step forward every time.

6. Lastly , you will feel its a perfect time to share your responsibility in a family where ours parent has invested Lakhs and that too with such a love n patience n suffering.Now its our turn to make them happy !

• One of the most appreciative work of TCS is that , they have the collaboration with book24*7.com.Every possible book of every category is available in e-book format and is totally free for TCSers and non TCSers have to pay a minimum of 400$ per category of the book , to become the member of this site.The book24*7 site has a very good user interface which will make you to learn more and more. You can access it , once you join the TCS

OCTOBER 27,2010

• There are 3 kinds of people in TCS.
  

  1. One who believes in buttering.They may get good performance rating and better variable pay.But buttering will not ensure on site project ,no matter how much u do !
     
  2. Getting on site project is totally performance oriented.
  3. One who think that as they get into TCS , so with this every responsibility is over.so they stay at same post and will only be promoted on basis of experience but not merit.
  4. One who has a habit of continuous learning but sadly only 10-15 % falls into this category.But for them TCS has such a variety of opportunity one cant even imagine of…
