I like Team, They were always helpful .
Ratings should be considered by work performance only. But here they considered all aspects. And promotions depends on ratings, if you can't get average or above than that...You can't get promotion. So promotion is the 2 nd point of the criteria.

CTS provides a good work life balance and decent salary. All other things depends on the type of project which you got.
As a fresher you will be getting support projects , so be aware before choosing any project.

We can get free online portal like udemy.
Once you are hired, there is no relevant project assignment, you need to forcefully work on assignment project and not based on your profile. No work satisfaction and company culture. Not good promotions, salary.

Couldn't manage work-life balance, more than 12 hours working, feeling so stressed and I have joined in nov 28, 2020 still I am in PA position with 5LPA package. There is no time to develop my skills, only I can focus on target.

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.
There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

I appreciate Cognizant's strong emphasis on innovation, learning, and career growth. The company provides excellent opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies and global clients, which helps employees gain valuable industry exposure. Additionally, Cognizant fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment, encouraging teamwork and continuous learning.

Salary credited on time. Two way cab. Large campus. Once in 6 months we use to go to trip to nearby places.
No work life balance. Constant pressure to meet targets. Worked overtime without any additional payment. Leads will put you on PIP if you don't meet the targets.

Their training program is good
After giving training in academy, there are lot of irregularities in project allocation. Joiners have to wait for 1-6 weeks for projects and also some problems after that. They also don't allow them to report from home during this waiting period (where they are just sitting idle for days).

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.

Benefits and salary is good. But if you are fresher then you will not get the salary as good for living
First they hire with wrong information and ones you get hired then they will let you know in which process they are dealing with. Second thing the notice period they will ask to serve 3 month of notice period.
