Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

They provide hybrid work culture & location approval as per your need that is the best thing of working in Cognizant.
Here job security is less & those people who were in bench were high chances of layoffs as they don’t get any project.

Cognizant provides good CTC to candidates.
Extended working hours on almost daily basis. Sincere employees are overburdened with work while the insincere ones just enjoy. No time for self learning due to long working hours. Appraisal is based on office politics and not credibility.

Appraisal process is not good, too much expectation and no hike in return.
Very less project in SAP and very small small account where job security is always in question

In some departments people (especially managers) don't even respond. And forget about HRs, they'll address your queries once ina blue moon.
I dislike the stubborn culture. They take feedbacks and then drain them through the gutter.

There will be plenty of scope to learn and improve yourself. You'll definitely go to different heights if you manage to stay here for few years and move out.
1. Do not expect much salary hikes. Even well performing employees have received less than 10% in the last 2 years.. 2. Do not expect promotions.

Teams are supportive and enough manpower is available for project management departments. Work is linear and outcomes are well estimated with realistic expectations from upper management. More opportunities are provided for an individual's upskilling. Additionally, opportunities in the bench pool are ample to explore new roles/tech.
Departments run without cohesive org structure; few teams are reinventing the wheel with the same routine work.

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.
Promotions and appraisal are not process based, frequent change in salary increament schedule are changed and also arrear are not paid for 3months.

I believe working in a company is totally depends on the project team with whom we are working. As per my team experience I don't have any issues with the people and the culture of the company. The teammates and seniors around me are helpful and also the manager is good, he always motivate us to grow more.
Some time when somebody need to change their work location for the clients need then company should provide sufficient facilities which company does not provide, this is something which is unexpected.

Liked the policies that is shown publicly or that a employee will feel initially but later when employees faces problems there is no guidelines and proper accountability.
The internal policies and politics are very bad. The managers are too arrogant. There is no way the employee can provide appraisal to the managers. There should be a appraisal process for Managers from employees as some companies are having.
