Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

If you swith to Cognizant, they will provide good salary compared to other service based company. They also push their associate for skill development with regular certification drive.
The appraisal system dropped drastically in couple of years. Very minimum salary hike with high ratings.

Nothing
No hike, no job security, no skill development, no easy transportation.even if you learn new technologies they will ask for experience and make you work in technology which you already know.if you do "jing jack" you will get everything else you will be cornered and make you to think resigning is best than staying there

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.
1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

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.

There is nothing I can remember to like
The culture was very bad, there was no work-life balance. The management was not supportive and tremendous rude with employees - Often calling on weekends and nightshifts. Managers used to glorify over work. The environment was like a dungeon. There is no growth for career except those who use to butter managers.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.
Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.

It is the best company to work as a Tester. You will be recognized and respected for the contributions you do for project and client.
Ratings are provided based on opinion of others rather than the performance of an individual for whole year. And hikes are automatically affected because of this.

If you have good project, you getting everything. Good team, good appraisal, job security and all.

It offers various learning opportunity.
There are people work under practices, each practices operate differently. No timely promotions. When a person get released pressuring to get resigned.

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
