Technical Lead Salary in Pune (Updated 2025)

Likes

Good pay compared to other service based organisation.

Dislikes

After take over by Chris capital, it's more like other service based organisation. Notice period is increased from 60 days to 90 days. Management always look for cost cutting options which impacts employee leaves and annual increment.

They will give you Salary whatever you demand but later there is no internal hike as such. So while joining you should demand higher

Dislikes

No Job security at all. Most of the projects are short term. If you don't have Project. 45 days Bench and then terminated. In that 45 days also, they line up interviews which do not match your skills just to count the no. Of interviews you have given and still not selected. And then make it a reason of termination

Before 2019 I felt everything ok. But, in recent times nothing to share which felt ok except If you are working you will get Salary on time.

Dislikes

Bench period seems to be dangerous. If somebody is on bench then start Looking for job in another Company. Please don't trust you will get project once released. May be its a challanging time for tech m.

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.

Dislikes

Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.
