If your unmarried the best company to work. If your married woman and if you have kid then you will be like option for them. Even if you could do company and their policies will not affect but the people who are for them the defenetly treat you like option seriously higher authoritys should know how many % of woman employees are promoted under a manager like that if you see that over all count of CTS it would be higher but if you base on manager its would be lesser. In all my 6.5 years 6 to 8 male were promoted but oy 2 woman that too unmarried and married without kid. For the sake of promotion my friend postponed her pregnancy....Read More

Nothing to really like.
Dislikes
Supervisors and managers are biased. No oportunities for skill development. People don't get promotion on time. Salary hike is not satisfactory. They negotiate on the no of days asked for leave. They ask for prescription every time someone asks for sick leave even for one day. Work life balance is a myth here. Office culture is terrible. Too much office politics. Micro management is their slogan. No on site opportunities....Read More

Promotion cycle/criteria changes recently adopted (Internal Job Moves) - allowing supervisors to promote the resources to next level without a specific criteria. This is creating official platform for favourability.

1. Salary and hikes are low.
2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

So far, i do not see any good experiences in terms of ratings, feedback, employee friendly, personal/family related concerns. Just getting pathetic treatment from all sides due to north indian culture and having personal concerns of location preference as bangalore. Always critised for the opportunity they provided like they have given what is not expected as employer. It seems like the employment is chargeable and costs my whole life in chennai only then I deserve to be a right candidate to work in their project. Seniors and HCM managers mostly lack of proper response and fair treatment in terms of opportunities, assignments, consideration, knowledge sharing, project experiences, personal concerns, ratings, feedback and support....Read More
Dislikes
Not feeling good due to consistently forced to change project and degrade ratings. Always denied for preferred location project even after 6 years of work experiences within cognizant. Did not get full exposure and work experience of the study in the project since I am not working as per their location preferrence. HCM managers are only utilising me for their work completion but never support about the personal concern. Mostly tamil managers are sucking the career of North Indian resource and never support since I have location constraints and requested to work from bangalore location. Tamil managers always wanted me to not to work from bangalore location unnecessarily which is very unfair. Not getting proper response and very badly treated by hcm managers or lead within project. This company just looking outside fine but inside it there is hell amount of unfair practices within projects in life science domain. Always critised for not being able to come to Chennai and got the average or poor ratings along with project release....Read More

It's MNC so work load is not much and you get nice architecture office and locality
Dislikes
They lay off when they don't have projects. They are over hired and less projects left with them.. you won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently

Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.
