Learning: Cognizant is having an immense source of free learning platforms as Udemy, Pluralsight, Degreed, and many more. It is having its own state of the art Cognizant learn and Learning Studio which has an immense capability to help it's employees to learn, nurture and grow themselves towards the overarching demand of current market scenario. Even if someone is not able to get a niche project, they can engage themselves with these platform and learn meanwhile. Training: Since we joined Cognizant as an Engineer Trainee IT IS through AMCAT, we did not get any kind of training from Cognizant, except that soft skill training and on job training. But yes, I wanted at that time to have a technical training. Job Security: I am not the right person to comment on this. But as per my experience over the last 03 years, if you are tagged to a reputable billable project, there is always a job security within Cognizant even if you are getting news of job cuts, lay offs, etc. Salary/Appraisal: Stared the career with a CTC of 3.38 lpa and even after spending almost 03 years with Full dedication and commitment, I am earning 4.20lpa. Based on this data, anyone can predict that this organisation was not like its past days where associates used to have great salary hikes or appraisal year over year. Politics: It is everywhere, it is in the blood of humans and so here it is. You could not blame an organisation for politics. We the people used to make politics. Organisation is having a great culture. So just refrain yourself from such activities, work hard and grow, that would be the key to move forward. Work life balance: For me it is completely a mess.But if you are in a kind of developer or testing role, you could expect a 09 hours 5 days a week, Being in 24* 7 support project, we have simply lost our lives in just those 27k salary....Read More

Career Growth: It may vary from people to people, but for me, it is terrible. If you have joined this organisation as an Engineer Trainee IT IS having a role of application support analyst, Global service desk analyst, or some fancy kind of 24*7 L1 kind of support project, your career is really at risk of being on a growth trajectory being attached to this organisation for more than 02 years of your initial career. My advice to all of such associates, please help yourself to learn in those periods, grow your technical skills and try to find out a niche project within organisation or please move out of the company. Because if you stayed doing so for more than 03 years, you will simply ruin your life and make yourself vulnerable in such a way that you will never leave this organisation due to shortcomings in skills being grown over those years. Work Life Balance: If you are in a 24*7 project, there is no work life balance....Read More
