Principal Consultant Salary in Kolkata (Updated 2025)

Likes

There's a good work life balance in the project I'm working. I did not see any layoff or salary cut during downtime. Salary hikes are 3-5% normally. Company having backend support from French government.

Dislikes

Hard to find or move out from one project. Some manager would do a micro management

... project, so have had some where it was good while some where we had to stretch. Compensation and hikes are good in comparison to competitors.

Dislikes

What I didn't like is some mid level management who think that they are bigger than company. A couple of directors are rude to the core, if you can fight it out, its good or stay away from that project.

...ht practice. It depends on your manager and your relationship with that person. The salary is credited on the 28th of every month. Opportunities to move across verticals and horizontals with less difficulty.

Dislikes

No clear HR policies on career progressions. It is up to the wish of the senior management as to when to award promotions. There are folks who receive promotions every year and there are folks who get it once in 5 years. Their SSC portal which is related to the finances is pathetic.

It’s a good company to work for and I sometimes it depends on the client where we are allocated to. Overall a good place to work

Dislikes

Salary hike is not as per expectation. It’s better to get the max hike while entering the company

Likes

The manager was very supportive and the work life balance was good.

Dislikes

...sary pressure to work from office and the unsupportive rude behaviour of the HR. There was nothing given above and beyond the salary not even box of sweets on small occasions. All the team outings and activities were self sponsored.
