Junior Software Engineer Salary in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Flexible working hours and manager's behavior is too good towards team and also no sir - madam culture which is cherry on top and every one is equal. Company give allowance if you need to visit for few days and they gives good hotel and transport.

Dislikes

Salary hike is the issue, promotion is very difficult although you are working hard. Also Recently company did huge layoff although they gave 3 Months paid garden leave but lot of people lost their job. After the acquired by Blackstone it became little problematic.

Work is good, if you get the right project. Salary can be competitive if you have other offers.

Dislikes

When I joined the quality of projects were good. Recently a lot of low quality projects are coming into the organization, and if you get any such project you have to stay in that project for a minimum of 1 year before you can request for a project change.

Company have multiple projects based on foreign companies which employee has chance to go onsite and work. Most important is they provide job security if any projects ends then they will use to get assigned other projects to employees.

Dislikes

Every employee loves company and expecting good salary but TCS is not giving expected salaries to employees and no good pramotion.

Likes

Leaves (lots of leaves) Some good managers Good learning. You have udemy, multiple cloud partners. You can study for free. Colleagues are friendly. No strict office timing ( you can just stay for an hour and do wfh) Food is ok. If you are an extrovert, there are lot kf outreach programs. Transparency till higher management.

Dislikes

Recently, After CEO change there are No promotion, No hikes and no good projects. They are loosing clients left and right, leading to less salary, heavy firing, cost cuts, less variable bay (even for 5 Rating, you'll get 2K hike) Mostly due to losing projects, there is mainly prod support or infra setup for US based companies. Some managers are heavily toxic, that they take personal vengeance with you.
