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.
Dislikes
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.

Only thing I like in cognizant is that we have good learning platform
Dislikes
There are no proper hikes. When questioned about hikes we are answered with "you have to be grateful that you at least have a job". Also no promotion, even if we get promoted we have to wait for too lang to get it on papers. This is for Non-IT surface.

Worse experience with Cognizant, the project they will assign you won't have future and you have no option they will make you work or go on the bench
Dislikes
No future growth ,the management are just to save there position, no technical knowledge, they will treat you like slave ,they won't approve the leaves and make you to work on Saturday. Mentally they will torcher the agent ,and after few day they will ask the employe to be on the bench and take search new job

I got very high learning opportunities with great role and responsibilities and they had high trust in me.
Dislikes
As other MNCs we have all the dislikes especially we will get support even if we are developers, won't get enough resource for the project as needed so will get high work but I'm lucky to get into the right project but my colleagues were unlucky in there as well.

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.
Dislikes
Promotions and appraisal are not process based, frequent change in salary increament schedule are changed and also arrear are not paid for 3months.

I believe working in a company is totally depends on the project team with whom we are working. As per my team experience I don't have any issues with the people and the culture of the company. The teammates and seniors around me are helpful and also the manager is good, he always motivate us to grow more.
Dislikes
Some time when somebody need to change their work location for the clients need then company should provide sufficient facilities which company does not provide, this is something which is unexpected.
