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
Dislikes
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Anand from global large deals team.
Dislikes
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.

Cognizant provides good CTC to candidates.
Dislikes
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.
