Cognizant provides good CTC to candidates.
Dislikes
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.

Work life balance.
They have multiple clients and projects.
Dislikes
The appraisal process is not good. They are using the bell curve. That promotes mediocrity .
They have multiple projects but they deploy you as per their convenience not as per your profile or preference.

Your shift flexibility is based on your manager. Work life balance was good previously, but from past 2 years it is really worst, not in 1 aspect but in every case. If it continues none will respect this company anymore.
Dislikes
No matter how hard you work you won't get promoted, you will get promoted only after 3 years that with many politics.
Hike persentage just 3-4%.
Asset, projects, facilities, benefits are utter worst

I don’t know in which era the owners are living in, where they think giving 5 days of paternity leaves are more than enough. I think they feel that father has nothing n absolutely no contribution in child birth and care. That celebrate pride month for a month but paternity leave is for 5 days.
Horrible

There are many points

Overall typical service based company, with lower appraisal %, ideal to stay for 3 years max, else growth would be stopped compared to market and you will be in comfort zone.
Dislikes
Appraisal cycle is worst, they do rating in Dec month and release in Jan, but appraisal will be in impact from June salary.
Promotion is a problem here, and you will have to cry every year. It takes minimum 3 years once u r at one level to expect promotion.

(Cognizant) phinix "H4 building", work-life balance it's not possible it's a BPO SECTOR it's a 10 hour's work ROTATION SHIFT you only have to work no other activities happens you will get fed-up FRUSTRATED. The company management DOSE NOT CARE ABOUT THE AGENTS WHO WORK THERE. ITS ONLY POLITICS. THE MORE YOU👅THERE AS 🫏 AND ACCEPT WHAT ALL THEY SAY YOU ARE SAFE. The cognizant H4 building company dose not take you for an outing. They only have annual yearly party Organized for perticular projects. For team outing they ask the agents to add money to go out for a dinner. We all have to work just like 🐶 . I don't have an option and I am stuck in Cognizant company. I am just working for money to take care of my family...Read More

I had been worked in cognizant for almost 2.9 years. Overall it was good to work with cognizant , up and downs were there but during my bench period I learned too many technologies that help me to grow in personal and professional growth thankful that cognizant have free Udemy access however each and everyone can learn the new technologies.

While giving ratings appreciation must be given to an employee, whether it may be a 1 or 5 ratings.

There's lots of opportunities to grow and get skilled in latest technologies. Certification opportunities and widely available. Work Life balance vary from project to project.
Dislikes
Even though the fixed components are higher than many companies, it's quite less compared to many leading it giants. The yearly increment is very less and it's zero to none for freshers. Appraisal of 5 star rating is almost never given even after going above and beyond expectations. You'll be compensated with bare minimum cheer points.

Nothing I liked. One of the torcher organisation. Making people to commit Suicide with their behaviour. No support from anyone.
Dislikes
One of the worst organisation I have worked in my entire life. With no good faculty no work support. Making human torcher with their work. Mis-using of all leads. There is no person who is ready to listen to agents. If we do anything or not it's completely comes under our fault. If you don't know anything if you ask its your fault.
