Likes

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.

Dislikes

Hr of wipro is worse , not even listening, when we want some clarification they started shouting,Work from home is closed, Which is essential for day to day life, to maintain life balance between work and family. On time of joining hr talk politely and after they are treated as slave.

Depends upon project and business unit. For me , here in DataCycle360 and Wealth360, work is excellent means, you will get more and more work if you are able to do quickly so, learning opportunity is excellent, technologies is also decent as per industry, but if i think independently and don't compare with other company then carriers growth (salary) in terms of appraisal is not good.

Dislikes

Appraisal, salary growth within CGI, Hybrid mode of working, WFO, In terms of quality and quantities work delivered - More work is there based on current 9LPA CTC of promoted SSE atleast for me, by comparing with external hired SSE which takes 19LPA. So, Switching to other company is good rather than getting Promoted within CGI.
