The opportunity to learn new skills, if we have the vigor to do, lots of young leaders and many initiatives to drive towards ones career skill uplifting
WFH has made management difficult to handle their human capital. So, many are facing their managers who did not believe in quality of work, but on the time spent on screen. Also, many clients have old systems of operation in developing and technology adaption. We have to try to develop ourselves and learn more of current trends.

It is the best company to work as a Tester. You will be recognized and respected for the contributions you do for project and client.

It's about the connectivity to the city,the office habitat culture and the work space it's quite good which creates a good place to work.
In terms of work life balance cognizant doesn't do anything it's only depends on your client and in cognizant benching is the factor which makes your job in non securable here.

The exposure I got in Cognizant is quite embracing. The people having 7-8 years experience switched from other service to Cognizant are not even technically sound enough what Cognizant folks could do in 2-3 years of experience. Cognizant will give you chance to take ownership. The culture and learning curve is excellent in Cognizant. Although everything depends on project but still Cognizant gives you opportunity to build leadership qualities....Read More
Incentive and hikes were quite good until 2023 end. After that appraisal percent and promotions rules becomes very stringent.

I am interested in working at cognizant because it’s leading global providers of information technology,consulting and business process outsourcing services.
Cognizant is going to be most. Torturing company in coming future and it is going to collapse. People who came from 3rdties companies in terms of employee benefits like TCS,HCL,Infosys,L&T and Wipro etc. are now abusing cognizant it has gone so low this time

Cognizant is more concentrated what I thought prior to my joining, it's really having a very good culture and work environment for fresher and lateral resources. In terms of career growth it is the ultimate organisation to look forward for an SAP employee specifically. Also it is having some good projects to work on. S4 HANA projects are there but greenfield implementation do not have as of now.Overall it is good....Read More
Should look into more S4 Hana implementation projects and onsite opportunities for India employees.

Cognizant offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They also have programs to support employee well-being and work-life balance.
Some employees at Cognizant have reported concerns about long working hours, potential for job insecurity due to the company's reliance on large contracts, and occasional bureaucratic processes.

Nothing
To begin with, there is 10 hours shift wherein in the offer 9 hours is mentioned. Without proper training, they expect a new joiner to learn every single thing. Loads of politics and backstabbing from the management. No work transparency No support for the new joiners, they have to figure out everything on their own.. especially when you relocate

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
Even if we work good and get good appreciation from client you will get only 2 rating. This is the worst part and hike percentage is very low.
