It all depends on project you get and more over managers handling the project, if you get them right then it can be a decent place to work at.
If you are an early career candidate managers will not at all consider providing you any promotion or good ratings.

Free cab & Health Benefits. HR doesn't care if you are alive! Yes that's what I liked as they do not poke their nose too often. Hike% is good compared to competitors.
Too many wipro oldies. Indian mentality and coworkers will be jealous about others progress even though they are unqualified. Poor management. HR won't care even if you escalate the managers, as you would imagine they are on the same boat. 10 hrs working. Unprofessionalism. Some Employees are not skilled to work in the IT industry as they do not know how to communicate with Clients or with anyone for that matter. Too many unskilled Telugu, Tamil & Malayalis ruining the work culture by using their community bias. Cognizant brand is going down as you can see from the attrition rate(above 30%) yet management is still not bothered and they are running to colleges to hire freshers who doesn't even know how to speak or draft an email. There are many psychos & I would suggest Cognizant to do some sort of Mental Health checkup before hiring as I have seen a girl who is also a Child Molester....Read More

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.
Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.
There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Here HR’s don’t even listen to our problems. When we need help from HR’s they don’t even respond to our messages or mail but when they need something from us they directly call us. Here, TMP team will say you will get project but when our bench time ends they force us to take up service desk projects by lying you can change projectafter 6 months. They treat us like we are some garbage and they quickly want to throw us in some garbage pot. These service desk project team leads are uneducated, don’t know how hiring happens. They will very much pressure and workload....Read More

In my first 2 years this company was great, but when a lead snatching all of his colleagues from previous organization to here to make some inner political barrier, then things start getting out of hand
Many thing No leaves, in TJX you have to work in national or client holiday no matter what happens Total politics, people who licking their feets will get promotion Always taunting & abusive in nature I got released from my project to just because I asked for leave for medical purpose

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here. One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More

Work culture is excellent. Mixed culture makes it really good work environment. Free hand in New Projects for getting new profile.
Salary as per industry standards is less, Increment as per previous followups has not been great. But favouritism plays it's part.

I like working in Cognizant, I won’t say this is best place to work, but if you are looking for settle or tired of weird culture or any issue. This company is better then those.
Here Manager literally owns the company, straight forward rule, you have do everything that your manager says, to manager and get progress. Variable and Bonus get cut down to 20-30% only. Even if you perform the best.

Employee welfare is just a show! They do actually care for their employees. They just see them as money making machines, if they are on maternity or pregnant or going through personal issues can be easily replaceable without giving a second thought about what happens to that employee
