Cognizant RPA Developer salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Flexible timings,work culture(depends on the project though), good infrastructure and facilities.

Dislikes

Compensation,promotions are hilarious jokes here. Some of the managers(female) are false feminists. Appraisal process is the biggest flawed process in practice. No wonder Cognizant still tops employee attrition percentage(33%,which is ridiculous) this shows that the company isn't bothered to hold the employees who decide to go because the company fails to match the market standards for compensation. If employee engagement survey is take ln into consideration very strictly, the company's leaders would understand how unsatisfied its employees are, but that never happens. I'm one of the very few people who thought things would be a bit different this time at cognizant when Brian took charge but, he too is one of those leader who THINKS everything is fine, looking down from his helicopter window. If you are assigned to any ADM practice, understand that it's time to leave.

Competitive platform for professional and personal development in terms of skills

Dislikes

Compensation is decent but growth is slow. The work pressure is high. Sometimes I have to work for 14- 18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late in to night. Also it would be helpful if there is onjob training ( we have options to personally learn and develop our skills via various courses provided) . On job training will reduce the time required for the freshers to adapt the new environment

Likes

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.

Dislikes

Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

Depends on your home manager, some are really supportive. 5-6 hours required from office (depends on the project), rest can be done from home, udemy access, cloud certifications

Dislikes

Salary is too low, only ceo earns good money, exploiting freshers and playing with their careers. They don't have many projects, so most of the time people will be on bench. Promotions are delayed/cancelled based on their convenience citing reasons like utilization is less (common sense- it is less because the company has less projects). Promotions criteria are increased if you satisfy previous required criteria. Hikes are less than peanuts. Company culture is bad, no festival celebration nothing. Work-life balance depends on the project; if you have a project, then you're overloaded with work and if you don't, you're overloaded with stress as they can terminate you anyday. FEW OF THE LATERAL HIREES ARE PUT ON BENCH AND LATER TERMINATED AFTER 6 MONTHS. JOIN ONLY IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND CAREER.

I have been learning new technologies since day one, so learning is never stopped for me after joining cognizant

Dislikes

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
