Valeo Senior Engineer salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

The company is open to innovation and readily adopts latest technology. I love the fact that I am a part of a team that markets reliable, high-quality products and has a global client base. As a result, I get to travel abroad, especially to the US and Canada. But on-site travel is completely dependent on your project and client’s location. Mine is a US based client and they have some offices in Toronto, hence I got a B1 visa quickly. Another plus point is that my colleagues come from various cultural backgrounds, and we work happily in collaboration. I also like the employee re-hire policy here.

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night. Managers do not value an individuals’ unique strengths, which is why I have to take back my suggestions most of the times. I do receive appreciation emails from my client, but they mostly go unnoticed during my mid-year appraisals. Also, there is no on-job training for freshers, hence senior folks like me have to guide them step-by-step, which is a pain sometimes.

Unfortunately there is nothing to like here except few colleagues.

...abilities on jira tickets counts. And good luck explaining all these to the mgr. One hr always keeps an eye on what are you wearing 🤣 • The recruiter lied about salary during hiring, it was august and we (me plus a few more new hirees) were informed that there will be 20- 30% hike by jan. (10% was said to be default). And we got baba ji ka thullu. • Company forcefully deducts privileged leaves on the days they decide. You cant even choose. • 9.15 hours are mandatory work duration, editing JSON and doing tech support. 5. Be prepared to be sidelined by the manager in Cairo, who thinks indian employees don't know anything.

Employees need to be recognised for their work individually and considered for upgrade of their position and project development by the Manager not that employee needs to enact on it it’s higher officials to enact.
