Cognizant ERP Consultant salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Only the brand name is the benefit. Other things like salary and promotions are pathetic. Work culture is somewhat good, but mainly depends upon project. Job security is good as long as your salary is not that high. They assign some or the other projects suitable to your role and skill set, but politics is everywhere and you need to act smart in order to sustain in any company.

Dislikes

Promotion is a dream there and increments are also very negligible. Work from home was a dream before Covid and you are asked to take leave in case you are not able to come to office due to some reason. Higher management is least bothered about your well being. Goals setting and goal fulfillment is a major challenge there and you need to complete all yearly upgradation of your skills and pass the assessments to get a good rating. Office timings are also very strict and you need to spend 9 hours mandatorily in office whether you have work or not. As compared to earlier, it is much worse now in terms of flexibility and annual compensation. On-site opportunities are negligible these days, which used to be the major attraction of employees and one of the main reasons to join company like CTS.

Hike Percentage, Expecting contribution more on the community side even we contributed a lot in the project in multiple areas apart from the project activities and they give reason to reduce the rating.

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.
