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

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

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.

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.
1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

So far, i do not see any good experiences in terms of ratings, feedback, employee friendly, personal/family related concerns. Just getting pathetic treatment from all sides due to north indian culture and having personal concerns of location preference as bangalore. Always critised for the opportunity they provided like they have given what is not expected as employer. It seems like the employment is chargeable and costs my whole life in chennai only then I deserve to be a right candidate to work in their project. Seniors and HCM managers mostly lack of proper response and fair treatment in terms of opportunities, assignments, consideration, knowledge sharing, project experiences, personal concerns, ratings, feedback and support....Read More
Not feeling good due to consistently forced to change project and degrade ratings. Always denied for preferred location project even after 6 years of work experiences within cognizant. Did not get full exposure and work experience of the study in the project since I am not working as per their location preferrence. HCM managers are only utilising me for their work completion but never support about the personal concern. Mostly tamil managers are sucking the career of North Indian resource and never support since I have location constraints and requested to work from bangalore location. Tamil managers always wanted me to not to work from bangalore location unnecessarily which is very unfair. Not getting proper response and very badly treated by hcm managers or lead within project. This company just looking outside fine but inside it there is hell amount of unfair practices within projects in life science domain. Always critised for not being able to come to Chennai and got the average or poor ratings along with project release....Read More

Having a job
Too many things to dislike. Zero transperancy in their hiring. Nodal point transport which can be anywhere from 2-5 km radius. 10 hrs shifts and with cab travel, it's 14 hrs shift. Rapid hire and fire company. You get no compensation and have 30 days to find a new job.

It's MNC so work load is not much and you get nice architecture office and locality
They lay off when they don't have projects. They are over hired and less projects left with them.. you won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently

Anand from global large deals team.
Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.

Job security is good. Visibility to top management
It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

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.
