Nothing to like except to learn how to survive in toxic management.
Dislikes
Never ever join cognizant those who have had technical skills, dreams to thrive in career also have family responsibilities as
Cognizant job security is Zero.
Projects are surrendered and handled by incapable management.
Anytime one can be off boarded from project even though performing well.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.

Cognizant is more concentrated what I thought prior to my joining, it's really having a very good culture and work environment for fresher and lateral resources. In terms of career growth it is the ultimate organisation to look forward for an SAP employee specifically. Also it is having some good projects to work on. S4 HANA projects are there but greenfield implementation do not have as of now.Overall it is good....Read More

Organization still blindly believing some unskilled leaders. Noone seems to cross questioning on their capacity. Mostly onshore team members rushes behind taking someone's credit on their name. There are many positions where unskilled people are present which will let you work without playing politics.

To begin with, there is 10 hours shift wherein in the offer 9 hours is mentioned.
Without proper training, they expect a new joiner to learn every single thing. Loads of politics and backstabbing from the management.
No work transparency
No support for the new joiners, they have to figure out everything on their own.. especially when you relocate
