Very poor job security. You have to be favorite of your manger to get your job secured and get decent appraisals. and technical skills or actual work is less important here.
Dislikes
These days this company is quite confused with it's long term goals. Most of mid to high level management has resigned the organization. Work culture has become pathetic. Too much politics going on. Very poor resource management. This company does not how many to recruit and how many to hire. So it is fully unplanned company in terms of staffing. This feedback for Cognizant
