Cab Service is Good.
I've been working since 2016 and joined Cognizant in 2021. I've had the worst experience of my entire Professional career working here.

Same goes for SMEs (Sonali Menon & Manisha Kar).These guys didn't even had to crack an interview to get the positions all thanks to the Senior Associate Deepak Kumar Singh who turns blind eye at every atrocities employees face there. They run the project like a Gram Panchayat Office while discriminating on the basis of Religion and Caste....Read More

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.
Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

Company culture is too chil & good ( depends on respective Project) Working hours are flexible Hybrid mode is followed
Promotion policy is very worst that you can never seen in any organisation. The rules for promotion is very pathetic and also those Manager/ HR are not ready to give promotion even if we eligible. They will simply positioned to another cycles Job security is poor and termination will become a casual word in the organisation
