Work in some verticals like Telecom, Media, Energy, Utilities, Manufacturing are good. You learn a lot of things
Lot of people who do not know about technology do estimations. Lot of good people have left, very few good people remain. Policies change at the whims and fancies of top mgmt. If you do work for any of the verticals above, forget about promotion or salary hike but you will learn lot of technical stuff. HR please do your work and spend time in understanding the problems.
It should be ideally called Chennai Technology Solutions. Tamil folks are everywhere. Some of it has changed recently with the new European ceo coming in. Lot of ppl prefer to speak in local language in professional setup which is quite unprofessional.

There is nothing in this company, you will find yourself in loop where you see no improvements in you. Biased people around and obviously it depends on projects but manager was horrible and so irritating. I hope you all don’t join this company if you are seeking good future. NEVER JOIN, I REPEAT.
EVERY FCKING THING ABOUT HERE IS HORRIBLE .NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. ASSHxLES.

Nothing. It's a terrible company
Work culture is bad, people don't have manners. Can't talk professionally. No appreciation. A lot of internal politics. As a north indian in South felt decriminated.

Work life balance is good. If you are looking for a stable job, this is a good place to work.
Cognizant was a great place to work at one time, now there is not much good projects. Not to mention the terrible career growth. Most projec6s are support and operations. You will hardly get any increment in spite of best performance rating.

What I like most about cognizant is their toxic work culture and politics. To be honest, if there were jobs offers I wud have left cognizant, unfortunately my career is losing grip because of Emi's and rent pay. They just only pay you 20k for 4 years, no promotions, no awards, no recognition and no growth. And they ( Home Managers) fake all their policies and they humiliate people in front of all the teammates and colleagues, likewise in front of 40-50 group ppls if there is work done 80/100 % and if we ask about wholesome variables pay and incentives, they forced you to go to cognizant portal and give resignation. I have every screenshot of humiliation and disrespectful and cheating of my managers and other project heads...Read More
