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.

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.

It's about the connectivity to the city,the office habitat culture and the work space it's quite good which creates a good place to work.
In terms of work life balance cognizant doesn't do anything it's only depends on your client and in cognizant benching is the factor which makes your job in non securable here.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

There is nothing to like.
Pathetic conditions as there are no good projects and bench policies are strict as hell that will land you up in the situation of getting terminated.

Work life balance. Hybrid work model Salary as there is very little variable component unlike other companies.
No promotions. I have seen people waiting 8 years to be promoted. No job security if you are on bench. No good projects in infrastructure domain for career growth. No skill development. No encouragement to develop cross domain skills. Last but not the least, too much of favouritism based on region and language you speak. Atleast it was in my case.

I appreciate Cognizant's strong emphasis on innovation, learning, and career growth. The company provides excellent opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies and global clients, which helps employees gain valuable industry exposure. Additionally, Cognizant fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment, encouraging teamwork and continuous learning.

Salary credited on time. Two way cab. Large campus. Once in 6 months we use to go to trip to nearby places.
No work life balance. Constant pressure to meet targets. Worked overtime without any additional payment. Leads will put you on PIP if you don't meet the targets.

Their training program is good
After giving training in academy, there are lot of irregularities in project allocation. Joiners have to wait for 1-6 weeks for projects and also some problems after that. They also don't allow them to report from home during this waiting period (where they are just sitting idle for days).
