Despite the fact that cognizant is not directly involved, the management team is the worst because I had a bad rating once and spoke with my HR about it. She said that it was illogical to claim to be able to speak Hindi, and they do not care about employees. While some employees are excellent, favoritism is a non-issue in the Kolkata office. I will not receive any better senior support that would help me start from scratch....Read More
I can list innumerable dislikes. 1. HR role is not in line with his or her work, and seeing such service from such an MNC, particularly in Kolkata office, truly hurt me. 2. I believe that the best way to force the company to leave on its own volition is through favoritism, which is the most advantageous attack by the poor managementof the Kolkata office. 3. You must look for projects on your own, work hard to earn your rating, and fail every time if you are not a Bengali. 4. No work-life balance; you have to work on weekends and late nights, and as a result, you will be highly appreciated with a very bad rating and feedback. 5. salary is very low and there is no hike or promotion if you are not favourite candidate of your manager...Read More

Global Opportunities, Career Growth, Innovative Environmen, Diverse and Inclusive Culture, Client Impact These are general aspects that employees often appreciate about working at large technology firms like Cognizant
It's important to note that experiences can vary widely depending on roles, teams, and individual circumstances within any organization, including Cognizant. For a more accurate picture, it's helpful to speak directly with current or former employees about their specific experiences and perspectives.

Worst work life balance. Complete politics. They just try to fill the seats in office. They expect you to work for 14 hours. And hike will not be according to your work, it's all about politics and friends.

You'll go school everyday and work for 10hr but your salary will credited for 9hr, high level of micromanagement, you are notified supposed to take leave irrespective of any scenario (Parental leave or even your own family died) they'll convince you to take leave for 2-5days only. Everyday there will be special warning session with management for 1 hrs with whole floor (e.g, if you are not meeting up the target you'll be sacked, etc etc)...Read More
