Project Associate Salary in Chennai

Likes

Good company but which process you r joining that matters. Good learning opportunities.

Dislikes

Salary is low as per other Companies. You need to check whether the project you are joining to a good project or not. Else you will not get any leaves on time, less salary hike, will force you to over time without over time bonus sometime. Specially your lead can do a lot mistake..regaring your Shift timing on system & all. So you need to be little conscious.

...ld retire from here itself :-) . ICON is a company of great leaders and culture. You will have people around you that respect you and pay attention to you and your skills. I have been rewarded for all of my achievement so far. fingers crossed for future. i feel the sense of equality here. You get to learn many things on daily basis. You may find cool bosses/managers here. Indeed, you will have lot of work but that's what I am hired to manage. :-) . Trust me i had seen toxic culture in my previous Org but it's not the case here. Peace of mind while working is very important & that I get in icon perfectly. Kudos to the icon higher management.

Dislikes

I DONT have any dislike about the icon. ICON is the BEST company i am working with. But would rather suggest a point that if icon start's providing their tenured employee's onsite/abroad opportunity to work, visit other icon offices across the world. then it will add value to the employee experience and career.

We have flexi timings, with open culture to learn and work freely. Especially AI and quantum teams, the leads are very knowledgable and mentor well. I feel fortunate that i am working in AI group at cdac bangalore and got very good opportunity to work on core research in AI. This is the place where an AI aspirant should start his career.

Dislikes

Salary is not on par with industry.

You can have a good work life balance. You have a lot of time to learn by yourself.

Dislikes

The promotion and salary hike is terrible. You wont learn anything in tcs internal projects. You can learn If you were luckily added in some good development project.

Likes

1. Skill development 2. Work life balance (depends on project & manager) 3. Hybrid model (only for those who are allocated to project if the project wants hybrid otherwise typical 5 day work)

Dislikes

1. Carrer growth🤧 2. Salary hikes ( 4 percent for 5 ⭐ 😮‍💨) 3. Less projects for freshers. Most of the freshers will be on bench or be non billable without work for more than 1.5 years. Then force them to give up if they are still not billable😴. 4. Relocation: This is one the worst thing in the company, If you are working in your desired city it's good. But, most of the times you may have ODC in your city but still they call you/force you to relocate to CHENNAI otherwise you should put the papers, which is one of the worst cities in India to live with respect to language, weather, food, pgs/flats availability, which is subjected to cyclones every year and you will struck in the middle.
