Cognizant Senior Technology Lead salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Cognizant is very good MNC with offices over lots of cities in India with multiple campuses in cities like Pune, Chennai, Banglore, etc. Good policies, culture, work-life balance, job security are few of the many perks which we generally get in any typical MNC.

Dislikes

It's very difficult to get promotion and good salary hike even though you are the best in your job. Work related things are totally subjective to the type of project you get which is true for all companies, so can't comment there. Almost NO on-site opportunities.

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.

Dislikes

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
