There's a good work life balance in the project I'm working. I did not see any layoff or salary cut during downtime. Salary hikes are 3-5% normally. Company having backend support from French government.

Once you switch from other company, you can demand and l&t will match the pay.

Dislikes

No Wfh policy. Even they are not providing laptop itself, still giving desktop only. In this modern world technology, still providing desktop to work. Also working culture is average only. Even if your work can be done in Laptop, L&T is forcing employee to come to office.

For a fresher as well an experienced person cognizant is offering competitive salary (I am talking about the Kolkata region). Another good thing is they provide free udemy access so we can upskill ourselves.

Dislikes

The biggest disadvantage specially the project in which I am working is the work pressure and the 10 hour shift is also very challenging as I was doing 9.5 hours shift in my previous company. The project in which I am working is fully work from Office even though cognizant sent a mail that it will be hybrid.
