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.

Couldn't manage work-life balance, more than 12 hours working, feeling so stressed and I have joined in nov 28, 2020 still I am in PA position with 5LPA package. There is no time to develop my skills, only I can focus on target.

Delayed promotions, low rating due to company policies or some random reason, less increments, even if you work hard. No perks or benefits during festivals like Diwali

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.

For me provide learning and development opportunities such as certification vouchers from various companies.

Overall, Cognizant seems to offer a balanced work environment with opportunities for growth and development, especially for those in technical roles
Many employees feel that getting promoted is a tough task and that the company does not offer enough opportunities for career advancement

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More

For a 2.5 lakh package, the health benefits are the same as those for a 10 lakh package. However, based on the cost of living, there are no benefits for associates on low packages (e.g., in BPO or non-growth departments) after more than five years. There is a lack of development opportunities, leading to career stagnation at Cognizant.

Work life balance is good and flexibility of work pressure but it's surely depends on the project and the manager.
No recognition if you are worthy enough for promotion only depending upon seniority
