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.

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.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

My team is really nice, and it's not the case with all the other teams.
Salary, benefits, appraisals, recognition is non existent. Plus there's a lot of politics here, so much that you'll wanna rip your hair off

The work culture is positive and the facilities are excellent. Cognizant provides ample opportunities for professional development and knowledge expansion.
There are concerns regarding the current hike and promotion policies, as well as the requirement for employees to work from the office despite the lack of a compelling reason. Given that collaboration can be effectively achieved through remote work using Teams, it would be more efficient to allow employees to work from home. With such less salary and hikes it is impossible for one to work here.

I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

Job security is very less whenever the current project gets completed & it'll be very much difficult to find the opportunity that matches to the skill requirement and skill development will be at risk for the new joiners and middle level associates

The company is known for its emphasis on continuous learning and development, offering employees plenty of opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. Additionally, Cognizant is involved in various innovative projects across different industries, which can be exciting and rewarding for those who enjoy tackling complex challenges and contributing to transformative solutions.
The work-life balance could be better, Salary growth and increments could be substantial, Promotion that is not always on merit list, Senior Management communication and support from leadership should be better.
