Dislikes
No respect
No job security. One mistake and you would not even be given notice period
It's jungle law. Rules are only for convenience of management
Zero ethics.
Office politics in promotion
If you happen to be in vendor location, you are really done for. Every rule will be manipulated as they will say cognizant rule will not apply as you are vendor location. If you ask what rules will be followed and link to the same, there is none....Read More

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.

Dislikes
Most of the senior mgmt in cognizant are old , stubborn, egoistic and obnoxious people .
They refused to work in teams, they refused to work at par with young associates and they have a very capitalistic mentality - they won't read mails and ask for updated on weekends !
The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow

-Its a big organization and there are bureaucracy. But still the process are smooth (Yes, there are delays here & there which is expected)
- You have the flexibility to work from any cognizant location you desire (Depends upon some project too)
- I personally didn't have any problems availing leaves, which is one of the few things I really appreciate.
Company culture - Good
Work-life balance - Good
Dislikes
- Favoritism ( u will get every opportunity if u are an a** licker)
- No scope for growth (If you ambitious, even a little bit do not join this organization. The promotion & salary hikes are horrible)
- Leadership team is pathetic. If push comes to shove, they will throw you under the bus and will not hesitate. (Generally it's the duty of a leader to absorb the blow if things don't go a certain direction as they are the one making these decisions.)...Read More
