Hitachi Energy Engineering - Software & QA Department Salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

They may offer you good salary at start..

Dislikes

1. No career growth.. you will be at same position for many many years 2. Being high voltage product, very limited scope of design change possible. So overall learning is slow. 3. Management people (HR, other Indians at high positions) are quite rude. 4. They may give you a Designation on offer letter and then job title will be R&D engineer. 5. No recognition and overall demotivativating atmosphere in the Technology Center. 6. Most of the people in the department are either M.Tech trainees confirmed or local Barodian. 7. Good place for learning simulations if you work with Europeans but your boss should allow.. generally bosses speak to Europeans and dictate do this or that... Botton line ... only come here if you don't have job... otherwise stay wherever you are or go to some other switchgear company.

Dislikes

...gh rest room and too much follow-up is required to book an office cab every day. Part of the salary is kept by the company as a bonus and they never give it back as 100% every year. Once it was with ABB and things at least went well, now no one takes care.

Management is not good. Biased with Female employee. They gave opportunity to female first . Not every department. We saw in our department. Huge work load for employees. Very micromanagement. Diversity is almost zero . Typically Chennai culture.

Everything depends upon the Team and TL. Its okay to work here. You will learn and gain knowledge. Job appraisal and promotion takes time. They are hiring freshers and upto 3 years exp candidates in Offrole with another 3rd party payroll Company. Later on will move to Hitachi payroll in future. It may taked 1-2 year. Also they provide weekly one day WFH.they provide to and fro cab services free of cost and I hope they give dinner and snacks to Night shift employees. Dont know if it is available everyday or occasionally.

Dislikes

Night shift allowance is not competitive with the market. Salary is above average.good i say. 99.9999 % employes are from Karnataka only. So if you are an outsider from North India who dont know Kannada, u feel lonely and alone in the office as your friends wilk be speaking official and unofficial matters in Kannada and u will understand nothing. This fails to make a good rapport with Ur colleagues and U cannot feel this as second home. U cannot enjoy the work bcoz of this only. It also depends upon ur team.If u get a team of mixed people from south and north India they have to communicate in English only. Otherwise U shd learn this language.Also WFH and Leave policy all depends upon TL character there are Team leader who give leave as per company policy And there are some who didnt even give compensatory off if required
