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.

low salaries, poor work-life balance, inconsistent project quality due to high fresher hiring, lack of job security, limited career growth opportunities, excessive internal politics, and poor management, particularly regarding performance evaluations and salary hikes; with many citing concerns about project-dependent work quality and the potential for being placed on the bench without a project assigned to them. Key points about potential downsides at Cognizant: Compensation: Many employees report feeling underpaid compared to industry standards, with concerns about low salary increases and inadequate benefits.

Will get salary that is ok

Dislikes

But if you give more importance to mental health than salary don't join this company. You are literally a slave of the client and no body will speak for you.. and if your too lucky to get a client like Novartis(pharmaceutical company) and especially get into celonis tool project then you can say bye bye to your mental health and just hug the salary you get and stay. Working hard is not the issue but the politics they play and the slavery you guys will experience is more than what was done in the colonization period. Hope everyone understands my mental health state currently and would deeply analyze before joining cognizant or Novartis....Read More

Overall cognizant has a very good environment to work with. But I should say it also purely depends on the team which we have put into. The salary is higher for freshers and lateral compared to other companies.

Dislikes

We cannot expect good ratings and promotion even if we deserve it. As they ask you to work 10 hrs continuously, you will not have time to develop your skills.

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.

Dislikes

Ratings are provided based on opinion of others rather than the performance of an individual for whole year. And hikes are automatically affected because of this.
