=>My job is more like a technical support which involves handling customer calls, troubleshoot customer queries, providing resolutions, handling emails and chats. =>Mine is a US Project(Totally night shift) =>It's been 7 months since i joined Cognizant and its' been 4 and a half months since i joined this project =>My team members were really helpful through out this time, without them i wouldn't have managed during all these months. =>I'm really satisified with my team mates...Read More

Salary - Good

Dislikes

=>The Major Cons of working in this project is the night shift(everytime) my health is detiorating constantlly(Lack of sleep, irregular eating habits) =>Mostly working in a US project means in my case it's a 24/7 client support, which means no holidays for any indian festivals (Ganesh chaturthi, Dusshera, Diwali)I usually had to apply for leave during festival times =>As it's a 24/7 customer support. there are no celebrations for any festivals or new year(literally sucks)my manager - he always thinks about customer satisfaction and client mails everytime =>Partiality - No matter how hard you work, how much efforts you make, you'll never get a small appreciation to boost your work, but rather errors will be spotted in each and every thing you do....Read More
