The recent Infosys’ announcement of giving an average salary hike of 14-17% is widely
believed to put pressure on other IT giants to go for aggressive salary hikes and
compensations.However, the country’s third-biggest IT company Wipro Technologies does not believe so. Nor the company sees any threat of a rise in attrition rate due to the recent salary hikes given by its rivals.
According to a news report, Premji said that we are not bothered about Infosys and that the company does not see the hikes as a huge concern. He added that when it comes to TCS, they are announcing hikes after a gap of 24 months, while we are only 18 months delayed.The company also said that it would give promotions in next two months. This is said to be in sync with the normal appraisal and promotion season which happened in June and July.

Partiality trend in IJP’s – TCS BPO
Are you close to the Management? If the answer is no, then you have very less chances of growth in the industry. Though you are efficient and process oriented, the additional qualification for any promotion is, you should have good terms with your superior officer. Recently there was a IJP(Internal Job Posting) announced for Team Leader and Escalation Desk. The IJP was conducted by the existing TLs and the Operations manager. The basic criteria to apply for TL post is the candidate should be a Band 2, should have experience for at least 3 years, also based upon the ratings that were given in the past. However apart from these, you should also have a friendly relationship with your Superiors.
One of my colleagues who had applied for the IJPs conducted was rejected just because he did not have good terms with the person who took care of the internal job posting. So there is a partial trend followed by the management on promotions.
