Learning and nothing else.
No job security is here..they suddenly release you from project and you will not get project. Bench period is very bad. After some days Hr will terminate you.

I appreciate the collaborative environment at Cognizant, where learning and sharing knowledge are highly encouraged. The company offers plenty of growth opportunities and exposure to diverse technologies, such as Salesforce and more, which helps in continuous skill development. Also I became GenC next here right after one year and got all the timely increments and promotions.
While Cognizant offers a lot of growth opportunities, the fast-paced environment can sometimes lead to high work pressure, and balancing multiple projects can be challenging. Additionally, the communication between teams could be improved for smoother project coordination.

If joined as a fresher then too many learning opportunities will be there. If worked hard and learned all necessary skills as a fresher then environment will remain good.
If joined as a fresher and didn't developed necessary skills then layoff is fixed. Project interviews will be tough. Some manager will own you whereas some projects and people of projects are actually good. So it's like 50/50.

Cognizant gives more opportunities to freshers.
The actual work time is 9 hours production & 1 hour break. It takes 12 hours production to complete everyone except any break. And also we should maintain errors.
