Eating IT up

Tatas are known to be caring employers and all its group companies take credit in claiming that they are governed by the famed Tata ethics and culture. Tata Consultancy Services, the IT arm of Tatas and the princess of the Tata group companies, is the second biggest software employer in the country with over 41000 employees on its rolls. TCS sends its employees on frequent onsite assignments which take them to various parts of the globe within 18 months of their joining the company. The compnay aims to be among top 10 global IT companies by 2010.
Now a class action suit filed by one of its employees against the company accusing it of systematically pocketing federal and state tax refunds meant for him can substantially damage the image of TCS.
