Cognizant Senior Associate Reviews

Likes

There are multiple projects

Dislikes

The list is endless. Poor management of accounts. They give importance only to clients but not to resources. Resources are treated like third class citizens. Lots of micro management in certain projects. Scrum masters are the biggest culprits in certain projects, they say they are backing the resources but they keep trying to impress only the clients. In order to impress the clients they put lots of pressure on the resources....Read More

They offer competitive salary package. That’s all.

Dislikes

There’s no job satisfaction or personal growth. Enough toxic people up there in the management. So don’t expect any support. It’s all about billing. Also you need to complete a ton of courses and most of them are irrelevant or obsolete, so it just eat your valuable time. Most of the time we have to spend our personal time to do all these since there will be project deadlines.

Perks and benefits at Cognizant are good, such as health insurance, which covers my parents as well as my spouse's parents, which is rare. Other benefits include Wi-Fi reimbursement and more.

Dislikes

They lack a proper system for managing job security and project allocation. Projects are not assigned based on the candidates' skills, and this random assignment leads to problems later. As a result, employees resign early, and the company has to start searching for new candidates again.

Cognizant offers good salary as per industry standards and you get good chance to work on latest technologies. Skill development and up-skill programs are good. You have 3 days work from office policy no pressure on maintaining minimum office hours. Good work life balance depends on role and project for me it’s manageable.

Dislikes

more ijp opportunities should be given. more on-site opportunities should be given. employee benefits should improve. Medical insurance amount should be increased with no copay option to support employees. 10 hour working hour policy should be removed.

Dependent on project your work life balance is good.

Dislikes

Working hours you need to stay 10 hours in the office (9 AM to 7 PM). This year hike percentage is very very worst. Compared to previous year's hike percentage. Work life balance is dependent upon the project. Every weekend you need to login if you are in support project. 6 th day allowance is less. Rating is not straight forward. Always they will give preference to their state peoples.

Likes

It's just the brand name. We don't get anything in the name of benefits

Dislikes

Poor salary. No appraisal. Exploitation of employees. Lot of red flags in the management and work culture. Too much favouritism, extreme micro management. No worklife balance. No upskilling or understanding people's potential or appreciation of efforts.

It was nice pleasure to work with Cognizant people. They were very helpful in nature, very kind. I know not many people are like this, but, its everyone's perspective towards life and demanding situation of life. I was fully satisfied with my work, culture and Life balance.

Dislikes

Promotions get delayed most of the times, which is rights to earn more of employees who are really working for company.
