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.

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.

Nothing to say much
Management and promotions are based on favaourism and very poor in salary hike and mainly without discussion with employees management gives us performance rating and apart from work there is no other activity today like no outings team lunch and other fun activities

Nothing to like except to learn how to survive in toxic management.
Never ever join cognizant those who have had technical skills, dreams to thrive in career also have family responsibilities as Cognizant job security is Zero. Projects are surrendered and handled by incapable management. Anytime one can be off boarded from project even though performing well.

Growth and carrier opportunity. Bucket of benefits is adjustable which is good. Quality work and new skills learning opportunity
Work culture is not good. Team size is always minimised. Managers are too demanding. No work life balance

Working environment in every project differs. My starting project was very well employee friendly. Leave policies are good here.
Some projects do micro management. You will get irritated by management.

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.
Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

Campus and Scope for personal skill development.
No promotion for more than 2 yrs, manager citing dumb reasons like he got low rating so take yours low as well. Asked to invent new things, create issue and solve them to show as achivement. Repeatative copy paste job, manager is dumb, higher management don't care anything abt employee.

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

Projects are good, seniors are also supportive.
Projects opportunities are very less, so they are telling employes to resign. There bench period is very bad.
