You get trained on testing theory, but on field job is totally different, Job security depends on rating Appraisal sucks big time full on politics, no learning as such. Work life balance is zero. They don't care about your health all they need is the job to be completed
Swipe in not good Micro management Very less hike Travel depends on buttering manager, terrible and bad experience
Bad

I had a disappointing experience working at Cognizant as a Process Executive in the GIS field. The work environment was toxic, with a lack of professionalism among colleagues and management. Favoritism and partiality were prevalent, making it difficult to grow based on merit. Work-life balance was poor, as excessive pressure and unrealistic expectations left me with little time after work. The overall culture did not foster a supportive or motivating atmosphere. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it to those seeking a healthy and professional workplace....Read More

Cognizant is more concentrated what I thought prior to my joining, it's really having a very good culture and work environment for fresher and lateral resources. In terms of career growth it is the ultimate organisation to look forward for an SAP employee specifically. Also it is having some good projects to work on. S4 HANA projects are there but greenfield implementation do not have as of now.Overall it is good....Read More
Should look into more S4 Hana implementation projects and onsite opportunities for India employees.

Leadership matters the most. If you are under right leader you will have proper growth. You will have flexibility to work.
Organization still blindly believing some unskilled leaders. Noone seems to cross questioning on their capacity. Mostly onshore team members rushes behind taking someone's credit on their name. There are many positions where unskilled people are present which will let you work without playing politics.

Cognizant offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They also have programs to support employee well-being and work-life balance.
Some employees at Cognizant have reported concerns about long working hours, potential for job insecurity due to the company's reliance on large contracts, and occasional bureaucratic processes.

To begin with, there is 10 hours shift wherein in the offer 9 hours is mentioned. Without proper training, they expect a new joiner to learn every single thing. Loads of politics and backstabbing from the management. No work transparency No support for the new joiners, they have to figure out everything on their own.. especially when you relocate

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
Even if we work good and get good appreciation from client you will get only 2 rating. This is the worst part and hike percentage is very low.
