It is the best company to work as a Tester. You will be recognized and respected for the contributions you do for project and client.
Ratings are provided based on opinion of others rather than the performance of an individual for whole year. And hikes are automatically affected because of this.

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.

The exposure I got in Cognizant is quite embracing. The people having 7-8 years experience switched from other service to Cognizant are not even technically sound enough what Cognizant folks could do in 2-3 years of experience. Cognizant will give you chance to take ownership. The culture and learning curve is excellent in Cognizant. Although everything depends on project but still Cognizant gives you opportunity to build leadership qualities....Read More
Incentive and hikes were quite good until 2023 end. After that appraisal percent and promotions rules becomes very stringent.

I am interested in working at cognizant because it’s leading global providers of information technology,consulting and business process outsourcing services.
Cognizant is going to be most. Torturing company in coming future and it is going to collapse. People who came from 3rdties companies in terms of employee benefits like TCS,HCL,Infosys,L&T and Wipro etc. are now abusing cognizant it has gone so low this time

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More

For a 2.5 lakh package, the health benefits are the same as those for a 10 lakh package. However, based on the cost of living, there are no benefits for associates on low packages (e.g., in BPO or non-growth departments) after more than five years. There is a lack of development opportunities, leading to career stagnation at Cognizant.

Lots of project, so job security is there. Work-life balance (again depends on the client and project).
Extra benefits like (insurance and term insurance etc are not up to standard.) Salary hike is very less.

Cognizant policy and benifits was good.
Partiality, Lake support from your current supervisor when you release from any project you have to interview again many times, location was also the main concern since lake of opportunity in North.

Wfh policy is not strictly enforced unlike a few other service companies.
Internal job movement is a hassle and I could not leave my current project even though I wanted to change for the last 6 months.
