Worse experience with Cognizant, the project they will assign you won't have future and you have no option they will make you work or go on the bench
No future growth ,the management are just to save there position, no technical knowledge, they will treat you like slave ,they won't approve the leaves and make you to work on Saturday. Mentally they will torcher the agent ,and after few day they will ask the employe to be on the bench and take search new job

Good work environment and culture. Work life balance depends upon the project/manager. Poor appraisal process. No fair compensation for hard working employees. Too much internal politics. Hike only in single digits.
Promotion process is very slow. Too much compensation given to external hires. Instead try to give hikes to eligible associates working in the company.

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.

CTS provides a good work life balance and decent salary. All other things depends on the type of project which you got.
As a fresher you will be getting support projects , so be aware before choosing any project.

We can get free online portal like udemy.
Once you are hired, there is no relevant project assignment, you need to forcefully work on assignment project and not based on your profile. No work satisfaction and company culture. Not good promotions, salary.

Projects are good, seniors are also supportive.
Projects opportunities are very less, so they are telling employes to resign. There bench period is very bad.

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.
There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

The most I disliked is the annual hikes which is just peanuts. They have given 3-5% hikes to all the employees ( 5% was the maximum hike given to the top performers, rest all got 3-4%. Management forced us to work on weekends from office which could have been easily managed from home as no one comes on weekends and feels like I am in graveyard, and the entire bay remains empty.

Salary credited on time. Two way cab. Large campus. Once in 6 months we use to go to trip to nearby places.
No work life balance. Constant pressure to meet targets. Worked overtime without any additional payment. Leads will put you on PIP if you don't meet the targets.

Their training program is good
After giving training in academy, there are lot of irregularities in project allocation. Joiners have to wait for 1-6 weeks for projects and also some problems after that. They also don't allow them to report from home during this waiting period (where they are just sitting idle for days).

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.

Benefits and salary is good. But if you are fresher then you will not get the salary as good for living
First they hire with wrong information and ones you get hired then they will let you know in which process they are dealing with. Second thing the notice period they will ask to serve 3 month of notice period.
