Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.
Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.
There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Nothing
Here HR’s don’t even listen to our problems. When we need help from HR’s they don’t even respond to our messages or mail but when they need something from us they directly call us. Here, TMP team will say you will get project but when our bench time ends they force us to take up service desk projects by lying you can change projectafter 6 months. They treat us like we are some garbage and they quickly want to throw us in some garbage pot. These service desk project team leads are uneducated, don’t know how hiring happens. They will very much pressure and workload....Read More

All fine but this is depending on the client you are working for... I worked for 2 projects till now where the 1st one was overall good but the next one is disaster. .
The bench process and project allocation process is not good.. They auto allocate projects which is is. Not related to your domain, sometimes they lie in talent marketplace in designation . Big issue is 10hrs working a day

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.
1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings or lunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management

Clean office Pickup and drops are available Canteen facilities provided(chargeable)
People from a certain region have monopolised the system. The HRs assigned to projects are usually freshers and do not take any action against managers even if they constantly breach or misuse their powers by providing promotion to their favorites and intimidating others into working overtime without any salary benefits.

Good CSR initiative where you can help Society in many ways. Ok work life Balance.
Just like all other Service Based companies, work is mundane and do not expect to get any knowledge or skillset. It all depends on the Manager / BU Head how you get Promoted or get good hike. Not recommended for achievers.

If you have good project, you getting everything. Good team, good appraisal, job security and all.
if you in bench, HR will torture you to put resignation within one month. also you have no option to choose project and select anything worst comes to you. no proper shift allowances will provided. they have zero 0% for mental health 100% for work.

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
