They don't event respect contract employee even though they are senior's than on roll employees. If they any lag in your task they won't even inform you or discuss with you 1 to 1, straight away they will ask you to leave not even considering about the employee life.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.
Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.

As a whole cognizant is excellent. They provide excellent skill development.
At Hyderabad location a manager called sankalp is very rude and very miss behaved person and a manager called simran they both handle google projects since they both are friends. They have favouritism in them very worst managers because of them many employees drop. And cognizant is loosing its name.
Work policy: No hybrid structure all 5 days there was wfo.

Healthcare process -:Management is racist, womaniser. Regional language (marathi) is not allowed on floor. Wherein management will speak Bhojpuri, Bengali, Malyali languages which is not regional according to them. Even if company is in Pune Maharashtra they strictly inform not to speak in marathi as management is not Maharashtrian.If they hate marathi language why are they living in Maharashtra , they should go to their native State. Promotion are only for female employes, lickers ππ chatus and for others who bring π₯πΊ for management. Leaves are given only to favourite emp. Even if medical documents are submitted they will apply NCNS. People who are issued warning letter for abusing on floor, fighting on floor are given promotion as they are favourite,lickiers ππchatus. Management has created there own family on floor which includes bhai, behne, bhabhi, devar, jeth, jethani, nand, soutan and Big Daddy. Management needs full gossip of every employe. Management watches reels and do videos call on floor and says mobile is not allowed to employees. Favouritism is the policy followed by management. Markdowns will be reverted only for favourite and lickers ππ chatu employees. False hopes given to retain employees. Personal grudges are kept if u don't become slave of the management....Read More

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.
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.

We can enjoy the company of colleagues in the beginning as a fresher.
Hike and the ratings are absolutely worse as they compare with your peers and downgrade stating as normalisation. I got downgraded twice and was told both the times as next time will take care but useless. Absolutely zero appreciation of hard work here. Max 2 years and then switch.
