Lot of learning opportunities. Nothing else

Dislikes

Treating unethical and un professionals way. No matter how long you are working with cognizant. They don't help you with finding new projects. They will start threatening the people from day one once you moved to bench. There is no worklife balance as we need to log 10 hrs at office. They say that 1 hr lunch time included in it. Over all I don't recommend my friends to join. Also all the facilities are managed by contractors so they don't listen employees concerns...like food at canteen, coffee and etc...Read More

Learning programmes are good but you won’t find enough time to do them.

Dislikes

Long working hours and you end up working more than 10+ hours each day and sometimes 12hrs too. Work culture is not so great as there is no sort of good team culture. Onshore counterparts doesn’t even help during any issues and pretend like they have done so much from their end.

Got to learn new technologies because the projects are short term and it keeps getting ramped down after 1year.

Dislikes

Management is not bothered about employees. Manager is not interested in talking to employees before the performance appraisal. Worked in 2 projects and it's the same in both. They give the comments just based on their intuition. Both the managers I had are not from my team and they won't know anything about what we work on. They alw ays say yes to the client without knowing whether the job can be done or not. The timelines they commit are unrealistic. Most projects follow Agile methodology just for name sake. Agile is made a joke here. No proper planning is done. Client is always right and employees have to work 14 hours a day even if they are sick. No humanity in the management here. HR is very rude and they are least bothered about your difficulties in the project. Even if you put your resignation they are happy to let you go and threaten like we did a very big mistake by leaving this horrible company. If we are on bench after a project ramp down they will threaten us to take the first offer we get even if it does not allign with our skills and experience....Read More

If you get EU projects, work life balance will be better. Salary is average Good learning opportunities

Dislikes

It's a service based company like other WITCHA companies. Every thing will depend on the type of project you get and your manager. 10 hour shift which was introduced during covid because everyone was working from home is still going on Might get stagnated after few years.

the only good thing so far is my team leader. Always there to help and teach.

Dislikes

The Mangement for my project deserves high praise. They made me move 1700kms away from home for return to office eventhough there is office facility some 15kms away from my home. The reason they provided was that i was still learning to work and moving would help me. Guess what, the sen iors who teach me about work, i connect with them virtually over teams after going to office. Management is really a work of art over here....Read More
