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

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
