Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.
Dislikes
Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.

Work depends upon what project you get.
Had a chance to work on a small project from scratch.
Dislikes
Work timings are pathetic.
You work at your regular timings and still have to login later for client calls. In my case mostly extending till midnight.
The hybrid culture here is totally unproductive.
Upper management is worse, expects you to be available anytime for calls.

There are multiple projects
Dislikes
The list is endless.
Poor management of accounts.
They give importance only to clients but not to resources. Resources are treated like third class citizens.
Lots of micro management in certain projects.
Scrum masters are the biggest culprits in certain projects, they say they are backing the resources but they keep trying to impress only the clients. In order to impress the clients they put lots of pressure on the resources....Read More

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Dislikes
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here.
One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More
