Dislikes
Authoritative Leadership, Office politics, Biased opportunities and performance reviews. Forced attrition. Insurance policy is not good. Delayed hikes and promotions, Extended work hours due to hybrid work policy. Pets take most of the perks unless you work so hard that they have to share some. However, these are most common things that you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company....Read More

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.
Dislikes
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.

I work in software testing as an automation plus manual tester. Nowadays there are many manual testers don't have opportunities in projects because projects are looking for those candidates who works in both! And what cognizant is doing that they show the client that candidate has experienced in both auto and manual and share fake profile with them. They just take normal interviews and select us. But once you get the projects, you will have lot of work which you never did earlier. And continuous work pressure will be there. Due to this there is no work life balance at all. We need to available with clients timings. I would request you my friends that if you don't know some things or not aware about any technology then just say no to the interview. They will surely prepare you from interview perspective but the work is not easy as we think. Once you get the client project then they won't even ask you how it's going..

Overall typical service based company, with lower appraisal %, ideal to stay for 3 years max, else growth would be stopped compared to market and you will be in comfort zone.
Dislikes
Appraisal cycle is worst, they do rating in Dec month and release in Jan, but appraisal will be in impact from June salary.
Promotion is a problem here, and you will have to cry every year. It takes minimum 3 years once u r at one level to expect promotion.
