Cognizant ERP Consultant salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Only the brand name is the benefit. Other things like salary and promotions are pathetic. Work culture is somewhat good, but mainly depends upon project. Job security is good as long as your salary is not that high. They assign some or the other projects suitable to your role and skill set, but politics is everywhere and you need to act smart in order to sustain in any company.

Dislikes

Promotion is a dream there and increments are also very negligible. Work from home was a dream before Covid and you are asked to take leave in case you are not able to come to office due to some reason. Higher management is least bothered about your well being. Goals setting and goal fulfillment is a major challenge there and you need to complete all yearly upgradation of your skills and pass the assessments to get a good rating. Office timings are also very strict and you need to spend 9 hours mandatorily in office whether you have work or not. As compared to earlier, it is much worse now in terms of flexibility and annual compensation. On-site opportunities are negligible these days, which used to be the major attraction of employees and one of the main reasons to join company like CTS.

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Dislikes

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.
