Good work environment. There is a huge cafeteria and gaming arcade for chilling. company policies are good
There is a lot of politics and the management doesn't address our issues. Less salary and career growth is slow too.

Work satisfaction will be negative, up to my view. No words for this company either is it process issue or company issue but at last emloyee is suffering.

I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

Nothing to like except to learn how to survive in toxic management.
Never ever join cognizant those who have had technical skills, dreams to thrive in career also have family responsibilities as Cognizant job security is Zero. Projects are surrendered and handled by incapable management. Anytime one can be off boarded from project even though performing well.

Growth and carrier opportunity. Bucket of benefits is adjustable which is good. Quality work and new skills learning opportunity
Work culture is not good. Team size is always minimised. Managers are too demanding. No work life balance

Working environment in every project differs. My starting project was very well employee friendly. Leave policies are good here.
Some projects do micro management. You will get irritated by management.

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.
Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More

Yes
For a 2.5 lakh package, the health benefits are the same as those for a 10 lakh package. However, based on the cost of living, there are no benefits for associates on low packages (e.g., in BPO or non-growth departments) after more than five years. There is a lack of development opportunities, leading to career stagnation at Cognizant.

Work life balance is good and flexibility of work pressure but it's surely depends on the project and the manager.
No recognition if you are worthy enough for promotion only depending upon seniority

Lots of project, so job security is there. Work-life balance (again depends on the client and project).

Cognizant policy and benifits was good.
Partiality, Lake support from your current supervisor when you release from any project you have to interview again many times, location was also the main concern since lake of opportunity in North.
