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.

Cognizant provides good CTC to candidates.
Extended working hours on almost daily basis. Sincere employees are overburdened with work while the insincere ones just enjoy. No time for self learning due to long working hours. Appraisal is based on office politics and not credibility.

Appraisal process is not good, too much expectation and no hike in return.
Very less project in SAP and very small small account where job security is always in question

There are learning and development opportunities via udemy and internal platforms but the team management doesn't provide time to utilise the same.
This openion limited to Staff Augmentation vertical - 10 hrs work culture takes 12 hrs to satisfy the unrealistic expectations and poorly managed processes. Too many unfair and biased approach by almost all TLs TMs and SDMs. If you are an outsider for positions beyond SPE you wouldn't be welcomed and treated well, tenured and competitors in the org will sabotage your growth.

I have started as fresher, so learning process was good. They gave good training period to learn the things.
Work-life balance was zero in this company which led to struggle personal life.

Flexibility for in office hours
There is no recognition for work, performance ratings are mostly average even after outperforming and fulfilling all the parameters set by supervisor, one can not expect promotion if they have joined as an experienced candidate for atleast 5-6 years even after being eligible

Opportunity to learn - since people are leaving everyday !
Most of the senior mgmt in cognizant are old , stubborn, egoistic and obnoxious people . They refused to work in teams, they refused to work at par with young associates and they have a very capitalistic mentality - they won't read mails and ask for updated on weekends ! The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow

-Its a big organization and there are bureaucracy. But still the process are smooth (Yes, there are delays here & there which is expected) - You have the flexibility to work from any cognizant location you desire (Depends upon some project too) - I personally didn't have any problems availing leaves, which is one of the few things I really appreciate.
- Favoritism ( u will get every opportunity if u are an a** licker) - No scope for growth (If you ambitious, even a little bit do not join this organization. The promotion & salary hikes are horrible) - Leadership team is pathetic. If push comes to shove, they will throw you under the bus and will not hesitate. (Generally it's the duty of a leader to absorb the blow if things don't go a certain direction as they are the one making these decisions.)...Read More

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.
Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

Overall, Cognizant seems to offer a balanced work environment with opportunities for growth and development, especially for those in technical roles
Many employees feel that getting promoted is a tough task and that the company does not offer enough opportunities for career advancement

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More
