I believe working in a company is totally depends on the project team with whom we are working. As per my team experience I don't have any issues with the people and the culture of the company. The teammates and seniors around me are helpful and also the manager is good, he always motivate us to grow more.
Some time when somebody need to change their work location for the clients need then company should provide sufficient facilities which company does not provide, this is something which is unexpected.

Bad company culture Slave system Compulsory WFO for 5 days a week 3%hike that too delayed by 6 months Toxic Managers Useless HRs Hired us through campus placements as programmer analyst and gave us service desk role. No training was provided by company and cheated us . We were around 1000+ who got the same support roles after being selected as programmer analyst from campus.

RTO Hybrid Model (for now)
Not getting hikes, increments. Not recognizing hardwork we did. No claims for medical emergencies as there is lot if rules for everything. No work life balance Need to work officially 10hr and unofficially 14hr, lots of work pressure. No cab facility. No additional benefits like not giving office bag to carry office laptop and not giving required accessories like headset, mouse, etc. CTS is my first company and these are all my personal worst experiences....Read More

I joined Cognizant as a fresher and it’s a best place for starting your career. Culture is very good maybe because of company USA origin. I got good ratings for my hard work without any politics.
Salary and hike is low. Waiting period for promotion is so high even though if you have top year end rating.

Salary comes on time. Leaves also gets approved easily.
No work life balance. No projects in company so they silently fires. Not so good culture. Not so get promotion(1-5%hike only) or no benefits (whole year). Not that much bonus yearly.

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.
1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

We are getting good Learning platforms like Udemy , Cognizant Learn to enhance our skillset.
They are changing Promotion Criteria when promotion Cycle comes near so less people are getting promoted due to that criteria.

After Ravi Kumar took over as CEO there is nothing left to like about Cognizant anymore.
Not respecting their junior employees, no proper HR communication, not giving promotions on time etc...

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

I got very high learning opportunities with great role and responsibilities and they had high trust in me.
As other MNCs we have all the dislikes especially we will get support even if we are developers, won't get enough resource for the project as needed so will get high work but I'm lucky to get into the right project but my colleagues were unlucky in there as well.

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.
Promotions and appraisal are not process based, frequent change in salary increament schedule are changed and also arrear are not paid for 3months.

Company culture was very good. Senior management was also good.
No job security, suddenly one day you will know that now your not part of your project. Salary and other benefits are very less as compared to other it company.

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Cognizant with flexible with work time and place and gives opportunity to upskill
The bench process and forced allocation of over qualified resources to underqualified roles. More oppertunity to learn and grow in organization

If you swith to Cognizant, they will provide good salary compared to other service based company. They also push their associate for skill development with regular certification drive.
The appraisal system dropped drastically in couple of years. Very minimum salary hike with high ratings.
