CGI Group Project & Program Management Department Salaries in Chennai

Likes

Opportunity if you work well

Dislikes

No proper recognition. They don’t even pay market standard for the senior people but new joiners will get more salary while coming in while experienced inside the company get less. Its good to work for a standard 2 yrs then move on.

It used to get good projects and have decent expectations on future projects and growth, but post covid it's loosing its charm.

Dislikes

No or negligible bonus, no or very less (<5%) hike for most people no matter how you perform. Many layoffs no projects many on bench(between. Assignments)

Likes

Some projects comes with work life balance benefit.

Dislikes

If you are lateral/experienced joining CGI then you won't get salary hike at all atleast for 2 years. They won't allow you to switch projects as well even if CGI officially provide option to rotate projects.

Depends upon project and business unit. For me , here in DataCycle360 and Wealth360, work is excellent means, you will get more and more work if you are able to do quickly so, learning opportunity is excellent, technologies is also decent as per industry, but if i think independently and don't compare with other company then carriers growth (salary) in terms of appraisal is not good.

Dislikes

Appraisal, salary growth within CGI, Hybrid mode of working, WFO, In terms of quality and quantities work delivered - More work is there based on current 9LPA CTC of promoted SSE atleast for me, by comparing with external hired SSE which takes 19LPA. So, Switching to other company is good rather than getting Promoted within CGI.

Likes

Definately a great place to work if you are less ambitious about financial growth. Almost zero micro management. Perfect place for experienced people to get settled or for longer run.

Dislikes

Not at all recommended for freshers. Very less salary hike and confusing apraisal cycle. Unnecessary hierarchy and complex organisation structure. Full off useless managers only drawing huge amount of salary just by talking in calls 2-3 hours everyday. IJP & internal trainings are all showoff. No use at all.
