Cognizant gives best opportunities at the workplace with great projects to learn more and it has best culture and workplace is very convenient to work and colleagues are very helpful.
Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night.
My work is slightly challenging as I have to develop the grids as per the task and as well as manage day-to-day yield operations. So I got to learn more concepts.

Cab Service is Good.
I've been working since 2016 and joined Cognizant in 2021. I've had the worst experience of my entire Professional career working here. I was in Service Desk Department of TJX Project and the managers (esp. Sourav Singh & Mainak Sarkar) would misbehave with everyone at every instance. Same goes for SMEs (Sonali Menon & Manisha Kar).These guys didn't even had to crack an interview to get the positions all thanks to the Senior Associate Deepak Kumar Singh who turns blind eye at every atrocities employees face there. They run the project like a Gram Panchayat Office while discriminating on the basis of Religion and Caste....Read More

Company culture is too chil & good ( depends on respective Project) Working hours are flexible Hybrid mode is followed
Promotion policy is very worst that you can never seen in any organisation. The rules for promotion is very pathetic and also those Manager/ HR are not ready to give promotion even if we eligible. They will simply positioned to another cycles Job security is poor and termination will become a casual word in the organisation

The night shift allowance, 6th day allowance is better than some other organizations.
Many things, toxic office politics, unpaid overtime, over-the-top cost-cutting practices, slow growth, biased ratings, code of conduct malpractice, biased regionalism, fraudulent HR practices etc.

What I like most about cognizant is their toxic work culture and politics. To be honest, if there were jobs offers I wud have left cognizant, unfortunately my career is losing grip because of Emi's and rent pay. They just only pay you 20k for 4 years, no promotions, no awards, no recognition and no growth. And they ( Home Managers) fake all their policies and they humiliate people in front of all the teammates and colleagues, likewise in front of 40-50 group ppls if there is work done 80/100 % and if we ask about wholesome variables pay and incentives, they forced you to go to cognizant portal and give resignation. I have every screenshot of humiliation and disrespectful and cheating of my managers and other project heads...Read More

Learning scope is good. You have a dedicated platform to explore and learn the skill of your choice at your convenience.
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.

One good thing is they will not touch your job until you're on project.
You need to be girl or manager's assistance to get promotion. Once you come to bench you're all gonee!!

Working at cognizant really helps me a lot both in personal and professional way .The work life balance & company culture was good and the allowances they provide apart from the salary was excellent...I really enjoyed my 3 years at Cognizant.
One thing I dislike about these companies are there is no guarantee of job security...they will pick 10/15 employees and moved them to different project within the company (internal movement)..which I think is a part of business but needs to be reviewed....

Great process exposure, smooth hiring process, extended work from home tenure during lockdown, good floor environment (colleagues and Aquantances).
Long work hours/ no work life balance, rudest possible SDM - almost held vendetta against the staff (process specific), internal politics and favoritism (process specific),

As a whole cognizant is excellent. They provide excellent skill development.
At Hyderabad location a manager called sankalp is very rude and very miss behaved person and a manager called simran they both handle google projects since they both are friends. They have favouritism in them very worst managers because of them many employees drop. And cognizant is loosing its name.
