We will have many things to learn and cognizant allows us to do multiple online courses internally.
Though we are working in 24x7 shifts, cognizant provides only allowance to night shift.
Working in Cognizant feels free. There are many things to learn and Cognizant gives freedom to learn and do certifications internally and externally.

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.
Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.
There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Here HR’s don’t even listen to our problems. When we need help from HR’s they don’t even respond to our messages or mail but when they need something from us they directly call us. Here, TMP team will say you will get project but when our bench time ends they force us to take up service desk projects by lying you can change projectafter 6 months. They treat us like we are some garbage and they quickly want to throw us in some garbage pot. These service desk project team leads are uneducated, don’t know how hiring happens. They will very much pressure and workload....Read More

All fine but this is depending on the client you are working for... I worked for 2 projects till now where the 1st one was overall good but the next one is disaster. .
The bench process and project allocation process is not good.. They auto allocate projects which is is. Not related to your domain, sometimes they lie in talent marketplace in designation . Big issue is 10hrs working a day

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.
1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings or lunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management

Clean office Pickup and drops are available Canteen facilities provided(chargeable)
People from a certain region have monopolised the system. The HRs assigned to projects are usually freshers and do not take any action against managers even if they constantly breach or misuse their powers by providing promotion to their favorites and intimidating others into working overtime without any salary benefits.

Worse experience with Cognizant, the project they will assign you won't have future and you have no option they will make you work or go on the bench
No future growth ,the management are just to save there position, no technical knowledge, they will treat you like slave ,they won't approve the leaves and make you to work on Saturday. Mentally they will torcher the agent ,and after few day they will ask the employe to be on the bench and take search new job

I got very high learning opportunities with great role and responsibilities and they had high trust in me.
As other MNCs we have all the dislikes especially we will get support even if we are developers, won't get enough resource for the project as needed so will get high work but I'm lucky to get into the right project but my colleagues were unlucky in there as well.

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.
Promotions and appraisal are not process based, frequent change in salary increament schedule are changed and also arrear are not paid for 3months.

I believe working in a company is totally depends on the project team with whom we are working. As per my team experience I don't have any issues with the people and the culture of the company. The teammates and seniors around me are helpful and also the manager is good, he always motivate us to grow more.
Some time when somebody need to change their work location for the clients need then company should provide sufficient facilities which company does not provide, this is something which is unexpected.
