Cognizant will be give you access to Udemy and many more other platforms from which you can do any courses for free of cost and level up yourself.
While in working with Cognizant you have to forget your work life balance because you will be forced to worked more than 10 11 hours daily and If you don't, threat of laying off will be given to you through your TL and managers

Initially cognizant was good in all aspects. Promotion, salary, increments, work life . But now only work work without any benifits.
Work culture became bad after corona period. Working hours are more than 12 hrs. Constant work pressure.

Nothing to really like.
Supervisors and managers are biased. No oportunities for skill development. People don't get promotion on time. Salary hike is not satisfactory. They negotiate on the no of days asked for leave. They ask for prescription every time someone asks for sick leave even for one day. Work life balance is a myth here. Office culture is terrible. Too much office politics. Micro management is their slogan. No on site opportunities....Read More

It is the best company to work as a Tester. You will be recognized and respected for the contributions you do for project and client.
Ratings are provided based on opinion of others rather than the performance of an individual for whole year. And hikes are automatically affected because of this.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

If you have good project, you getting everything. Good team, good appraisal, job security and all.
if you in bench, HR will torture you to put resignation within one month. also you have no option to choose project and select anything worst comes to you. no proper shift allowances will provided. they have zero 0% for mental health 100% for work.

It offers various learning opportunity.
There are people work under practices, each practices operate differently. No timely promotions. When a person get released pressuring to get resigned.

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you

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
