Nothing
Employee welfare is just a show! They do actually care for their employees. They just see them as money making machines, if they are on maternity or pregnant or going through personal issues can be easily replaceable without giving a second thought about what happens to that employee

It's about the connectivity to the city,the office habitat culture and the work space it's quite good which creates a good place to work.
In terms of work life balance cognizant doesn't do anything it's only depends on your client and in cognizant benching is the factor which makes your job in non securable here.

=>My job is more like a technical support which involves handling customer calls, troubleshoot customer queries, providing resolutions, handling emails and chats. =>Mine is a US Project(Totally night shift) =>It's been 7 months since i joined Cognizant and its' been 4 and a half months since i joined this project =>My team members were really helpful through out this time, without them i wouldn't have managed during all these months. =>I'm really satisified with my team mates...Read More
=>The Major Cons of working in this project is the night shift(everytime) my health is detiorating constantlly(Lack of sleep, irregular eating habits) =>Mostly working in a US project means in my case it's a 24/7 client support, which means no holidays for any indian festivals (Ganesh chaturthi, Dusshera, Diwali)I usually had to apply for leave during festival times =>As it's a 24/7 customer support. there are no celebrations for any festivals or new year(literally sucks)my manager - he always thinks about customer satisfaction and client mails everytime =>Partiality - No matter how hard you work, how much efforts you make, you'll never get a small appreciation to boost your work, but rather errors will be spotted in each and every thing you do....Read More

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.
