Cognizant Programmer Analyst Reviews

Likes

I like Cognizant because they are providing good platform/opportunities to Freshers. Really CTS is a Good management. But one thing, they didn't provide hike at the correct time. Coming to Job security, if you have talent you can sustain otherwise we can't. It's not for CTS, applicable to other MNC's also.

Dislikes

They always delays the merit / year end hike and they won't give at the correct time. I am arts graduate student, we don't have career growth in Cognizant. Ex: For arts graduate people need to wait for 3 years atleast to get for the first promotion (Programmer Analyst) but Engineer graduate people will get it in one year by default</mark>. After that we need to wait for another 2 or 3 years to get next promotion but Engineer graduates 2 years default they will get it....Read More

Likes

Immense learning opportunities, skill building, trainings, courses etc. Dedicated portals for Associate guidance with respect to Assignments, profile, help desk/IT support etc. Big clientele spanning across various technologies which gives more than sufficient exposure in the respective domain/field.

Dislikes

Unclear/ambiguous feedback with respect to rating/performance. Delay in promotions. Might lag behind if you have worked well but don't ask for what you deserve or if you don't get along well with your HCM/supervisor or above. Managers being concerned for use of leaves(Long/planned) even when client has no issues....Read More

Only good thing about the company was Job security same as other Full time jobs.

Dislikes

I joined as lateral joiner in cognizant with high hopes. Initial year was good. But then there was no growth and promotion even after getting 2nd best rating each year. After more than 2.5 years there was negligible professional and financial growth (Same as other lateral Joiners)
