Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.

Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.

Cognizant has large number of client in various domains providing a lot of opportunities across the world. I have got an opprtunity to work at different locations and in diversified tools and technologies and various domains. It has helped me build a robust career and helped me grow along with the organization.

Dislikes

Frequently changing revision cycles, changing promotions process and cycles and very less salary hikes. Also for the veteran employees, salary standards are very low compard to the market standards

Good company culture. Flexible work timings.

Dislikes

Growth will be slow unless you are popular among management and colleagues. There is favoritism and whether you have a good career or not depends on the project you choose. Mentality to please the customers is there everywhere and there is little importance given for individual growth.

My experience with Cognizant has been excellent. I have been able to independently work to grow my team and business without much interference from the management. Job security in Cognizant is very good. Even in the worst of times, they do not let good people go.

Dislikes

Bureaucratic structure leading to red tapism. The folks in support functions don’t listen to anyone and feel that they are running the company. They create their own policies and try to block those those earning revenue for the company by calling out non compliance in everything you do. This has to go for Cognizant to grow faster.

Ease of adapting to new technologies.

Dislikes

Culture of recognizing long term associates. The associates who have been with Cognizant for long are not treated fairly in terms of promotions or salary incentives on the basis of tech stack developed over a period of time.

Likes

Variable is less compared to other companies. Salary on time.

Dislikes

They are doing background verification by: 1. UAN Service History (Unethical Practice) 2. All past companies PF statements 3. All past companies HR and Managers Email Id and Mobile Number (Unethical) 4. Experience Letters of all past companies. 5. Bank statements of all past companies. 6. Salary Slip of all past companies. Apartfrom this: Managers don't trust employees. No timely hikes and promotions. Dictatorship is very common....Read More

It's MNC so work load is not much and you get nice architecture office and locality

Dislikes

They lay off when they don't have projects. They are over hired and less projects left with them.. you won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently

Likes

Anand from global large deals team.

Dislikes

Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.

Likes

Job security is good. Visibility to top management

Dislikes

It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.

Dislikes

Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Likes

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.

Dislikes

Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.
