Auto Promotion seems to be a good thing however, I didn't get it as I am completely 2 years with organization
No HR representative transperancy to contact, I thought that every employee tries to avoid the risk from doing the task

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

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.

MNC benefits.
Authoritative Leadership, Office politics, Biased opportunities and performance reviews. Forced attrition. Insurance policy is not good. Delayed hikes and promotions, Extended work hours due to hybrid work policy. Pets take most of the perks unless you work so hard that they have to share some. However, these are most common things that you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company....Read More

A lot to learn and a good work life balance with steady growth.
Medical Benefits are not at Par. Only hospitalization is covered and that too with a Co Pay of 10%. There should also be benefit of domiciliary allowances or reimbursements for Adhoc illness such as Viral, Dental

There are lot of courses for Skill Development/Learning
Cognizant will terminate the employment services at any time. After employee moved to bench the internal portal will not have any positions suitable to employee skill-set. Most of them were IT roles or on few roles the account managers decides to push internal employee. I advise all the positions which are there on Cognizant external website should also available on intranet portal.

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.
