I liked my profile and job

Dislikes

the unwanted politics amongst seniors to bully their juniors, i was kind of harassed by newly appoiinted manager. Supercedness by seniors; ignoring the situations, dedicatedly commiting on everything to the client requirement without consulting with team members who actually knows what the scenario and work is.

Dislikes

Company policies are not transparent. Salary, remunerations are not good. Not employee friendly Skill development process is not good

Likes

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.

Dislikes

There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

Global Opportunities, Career Growth, Innovative Environmen, Diverse and Inclusive Culture, Client Impact These are general aspects that employees often appreciate about working at large technology firms like Cognizant

Dislikes

It's important to note that experiences can vary widely depending on roles, teams, and individual circumstances within any organization, including Cognizant. For a more accurate picture, it's helpful to speak directly with current or former employees about their specific experiences and perspectives.

Work life balance. Hybrid work model Salary as there is very little variable component unlike other companies.

Dislikes

No promotions. I have seen people waiting 8 years to be promoted. No job security if you are on bench. No good projects in infrastructure domain for career growth. No skill development. No encouragement to develop cross domain skills. Last but not the least, too much of favouritism based on region and language you speak. Atleast it was in my case.
