Cognizant ERP Consultant salaries in Chennai

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.

Likes

They offer competitive salary package. That’s all.

Dislikes

There’s no job satisfaction or personal growth. Enough toxic people up there in the management. So don’t expect any support. It’s all about billing. Also you need to complete a ton of courses and most of them are irrelevant or obsolete, so it just eat your valuable time. Most of the time we have to spend our personal time to do all these since there will be project deadlines.

Cognizant offers good salary as per industry standards and you get good chance to work on latest technologies. Skill development and up-skill programs are good. You have 3 days work from office policy no pressure on maintaining minimum office hours. Good work life balance depends on role and project for me it’s manageable.

Dislikes

more ijp opportunities should be given. more on-site opportunities should be given. employee benefits should improve. Medical insurance amount should be increased with no copay option to support employees. 10 hour working hour policy should be removed.
