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.

Worst company, hell lot of discrimination between India and Manila. Management is worst and just care about how to loot money from client and warm their own pockets. No work life balance, worst of its kind.
Everything nothing good, they don't give you salary as what you do, no holiday, you need to work in india holiday and you need to work in US holiday as well. Management only do back hitching here. Don't ever join team under any philippians specially Joy Mendoza she is worst of her kind.

Great place to try out diverse project experiences if you have positive attitudes to learn everything. Leadership is passionate of new technology and client centricity. Pays competitive salary benefits may not be high at times but sustainable for long, rewarding association. Will recommend people to experience Cognizant.
If you remain too good on a domain, likely you will get trapped into it and not allowed to learn horizontal skills. So keeping a balance and relationship to horizontal people are important in any large project centric organization.

Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.
Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.

The company is known for its emphasis on continuous learning and development, offering employees plenty of opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. Additionally, Cognizant is involved in various innovative projects across different industries, which can be exciting and rewarding for those who enjoy tackling complex challenges and contributing to transformative solutions.
The work-life balance could be better, Salary growth and increments could be substantial, Promotion that is not always on merit list, Senior Management communication and support from leadership should be better.

I have had the opportunity to work with clients, and I appreciate the client positive environment. which makes the work experience enjoyable. However, I feel that there isn’t anything particularly unique about the company itself.
I appreciate my time at the company and the collaborative environment we have. However, I would like to express that the lack of promotions and salary increases has been a concern for me. It can be discouraging when hard work doesn't seem to be recognized through career advancement or financial rewards. I believe that addressing these aspects could greatly enhance employee satisfaction and motivation....Read More
