Everything wishy washy is available here, Mentor program, learning with best LMS portal and one of the best online learning portal courses available. Mostly it will be great for the technical aspect and Quality management. DEI is given utmost importance, corporate volunteering service via outreach will help you get recognition, meetnew folks of your interest like planting trees, coastal cleanup and other community works....Read More

Everything what they claim was not up to the mark especially during corona period. Seemingly, anyone who has low caliber in language skills can certainly be there as it has become a trend to speak can't able to in all levels of operations including the training department. There are enormous number of course available however the structure of the learning and development sucks, they get accolades of making course available where the skill transformation is absolute zero. It's a namesake trend everything said and done are two different things. There were multiple projects which got ramped down back-to-back years. The so-called appraisal is absolutely worthless. If you just want to hang on because you need your survival, go ahead and join this place it's a wonderful place for those who doesn't seek a constant growth. Appraisal process is really funny. Many a times, communication, language is the root cause of all trouble. Effective communication is seen even on the ops head. If you are lucky, you would get a great mentor who can help you swim through the dirty politics with constant nudge in shaping your career. Leadership qualities sucks in all levels majorly. The less you work and show an exaggeration, you sure to head towards promotion. From all the project that I had worked, it did not give me a great wonderful experience as I had to struggle through the politics for promotion. People on the top management has zero leadership skills, negotiation, conflict management skills. Doesn't matter if it's male or female boss. I was lucky enough to have Indian male and female managers wonderful who were team driven but it was not the same case with all projects. Work life balance is a myth as no one will share what is required, they would give high command and expect you to work on fine way and try to get all that is not good even for presentations. The job requirement will not be clearly shared, namesake documents will be available but never be shared to the associate. HR is not even existing unless you be a part of work force management- Bench. Talent management team will never help you get new process, God knows what job they are even doing. My overall 11.5 yr exp, it was not a great growth. learning yes, every failure is lesson learnt....Read More

Never ever join cognizant those who have had technical skills, dreams to thrive in career also have family responsibilities as Cognizant job security is Zero. Projects are surrendered and handled by incapable management. Anytime one can be off boarded from project even though performing well.

Job security is good here. Your process gets change only if you are unable to perform well in any manager expectations. Skill development totally depends on the team leader but I'm sure everyone can show off or polish their skills here.

No work life balance. HR is so rude when you asks for work from home in serious situation. Salary is too less for the work. Promotions are fixed even if you perform better you only get promoted after a certain time that also depend on your team lead likings.

Dislikes
Many things I dislike about Cognizant that is their washrooms were not clean and planetary area. Everywhere there are cockroaches. The management here is good, but favourite ism and in equality among employees was done based on the religion criteria and not everyone was treated fairly not speaking in regional language Taking cooked up meetings when there is any sick leave taken with document’s but not approved by Manager, then it would be considered as LOP. I still remember an escalation was done by me by a behaviour of my SME. But when I mentioned the same to a manager, he stated he will surely look into this and the next moment, I saw him laughing with my Sm. There was no action taken, and this was the only conclusion we got over the same, where that SME even got the warning letter now, Soni is going to be the deal because of inequality...Read More

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

Organization still blindly believing some unskilled leaders. Noone seems to cross questioning on their capacity. Mostly onshore team members rushes behind taking someone's credit on their name. There are many positions where unskilled people are present which will let you work without playing politics.

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
