Auto Promotion seems to be a good thing however, I didn't get it as I am completely 2 years with organization
No HR representative transperancy to contact, I thought that every employee tries to avoid the risk from doing the task

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.

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

There are learning and development opportunities via udemy and internal platforms but the team management doesn't provide time to utilise the same.
This openion limited to Staff Augmentation vertical - 10 hrs work culture takes 12 hrs to satisfy the unrealistic expectations and poorly managed processes. Too many unfair and biased approach by almost all TLs TMs and SDMs. If you are an outsider for positions beyond SPE you wouldn't be welcomed and treated well, tenured and competitors in the org will sabotage your growth.

Cognizant offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They also have programs to support employee well-being and work-life balance.
Some employees at Cognizant have reported concerns about long working hours, potential for job insecurity due to the company's reliance on large contracts, and occasional bureaucratic processes.

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
