Lots of project, so job security is there. Work-life balance (again depends on the client and project).
Extra benefits like (insurance and term insurance etc are not up to standard.) Salary hike is very less.

Cognizant policy and benifits was good.
Partiality, Lake support from your current supervisor when you release from any project you have to interview again many times, location was also the main concern since lake of opportunity in North.

Wfh policy is not strictly enforced unlike a few other service companies.
Internal job movement is a hassle and I could not leave my current project even though I wanted to change for the last 6 months.

CTS provides a good work life balance and decent salary. All other things depends on the type of project which you got.
As a fresher you will be getting support projects , so be aware before choosing any project.

We can get free online portal like udemy.
Once you are hired, there is no relevant project assignment, you need to forcefully work on assignment project and not based on your profile. No work satisfaction and company culture. Not good promotions, salary.

I liked my profile and job
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.

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.
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.

The most I disliked is the annual hikes which is just peanuts. They have given 3-5% hikes to all the employees ( 5% was the maximum hike given to the top performers, rest all got 3-4%. Management forced us to work on weekends from office which could have been easily managed from home as no one comes on weekends and feels like I am in graveyard, and the entire bay remains empty.

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
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.

Worst work life balance. Complete politics. They just try to fill the seats in office. They expect you to work for 14 hours. And hike will not be according to your work, it's all about politics and friends.

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

The company provides excellent opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies and global clients, which helps employees gain valuable industry exposure. Additionally, Cognizant fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment, encouraging teamwork and continuous learning.
