CitiusTech Software Engineer salaries in IT & Information Security in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Hybrid and flexible working hours. Work-life balance. Weekly snacks and events. Good culture - addressing everyone by their first name (flat culture), business casual dress code allowed, good for experienced individuals, bad for inexperienced freshers. Monthly 8 days work from office (not mandatory to complete 2 days per week, could be completed consecutively in a row). Excellent admin team to resolve technical issues.

Dislikes

...ood. Many and frequent layoffs happen every now and then. Hire and fire culture. Poor promotions and salary hike (0-3% of base saalry). For me, no hike happened for one entire year even after giving my 100%. 😭 No formal recognition or certificate of appreciation even after working on a project for 2 years. Toxic manager with zero skills and understanding of the project. Hiring, appraising, conferring certificates, providing formal recognition, providing hikes to undeserving managers/team leads/employees. Management is THE WORST and is almost completely responsible for all these negative feedback. Skills development is limited. Only a few projects and worth working on. (Craneware, DaVita, etc). Monthly calendar enrollment for upskilling and training requires manager's approval and most managers don't approve, not because they don't want to but because of the limited time period before the deadline to approve it. Also, some managers don't approve it because they either don't receive the email to approve or they get hundreds of emails per day so they miss those approval emails. This hinders upskilling of the employee working under that lazy manager. 😢 Immediate actions to be taken by the management: 1. Reject hire and fire policy. 2. Reject false promises. 3. Keep managers and team leads in check as they exercise their authority over their juniors. Rather than doing their own work, they ask juniors to complete their part of work on their behalf. 4. Improve salary hike or else expect voluntary resignations just how it is happening right now. 5. Forget about undeserving employees who just waste company resources; but those who really merit hikes/appraisals should receive decent salary hikes. (Not peanuts such as 1-3% hike, come on! It's a billion dollar company - unicorn. Please have some self-respect.) 6. Some managers misuse 1-on-1 to include TLs in the same appraisal meeting, thereby making it a non-transparent (2-on-1) and biased process. Such managers must be fired instead of deserving employees.

Following are the pros: 1. Retention component in salary. 2. No Projects are there. Total waste of time. Being an experienced IT engineer of 2+ years. When I joined Citiustech they putted lot of people on training. And even after 1 years there was no project. After that I was laid off.

Overall the company culture is very good. The CEO really cares for his employees and good. Some projects are still using age old tech like VB and WCF. if you get into those projects then you are trapped and there is no way out of it. Many projects also use new tech as well.

Dislikes

...ul sometimes. They just ignore your queries and you have to bug them constantly. Finance team is also lacks sometimes but yeah most the time you will get salary on time.
