It's very good platform to starting your career. Also for seniors.
In BPO sector most of the management people's are think like they are the owners so they give very much pressure to their employees.

Management and promotions are based on favaourism and very poor in salary hike and mainly without discussion with employees management gives us performance rating and apart from work there is no other activity today like no outings team lunch and other fun activities

Nothing to like except to learn how to survive in toxic management.
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.

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.
Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

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.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

i like nothing The company don't give projects to work on & then they just layoff people for no reason
disliked everything first they will just allocate you to the support projects which is good as a fresher you learn & everything but they don't even provide your work & you just have to sit & wait for a billable project then they will put you on bench & HR will call you ask you to resign & layoff you for no reason even my manager said we don't have any projects For right now then why do you hire peoeple..!!!...Read More

Have no good project. And they throw you off after bench period. All they have is some service desk project which even 12th standard can do. Also work is more hours and you get only 5 hours to sleep.

Job security is good here. Your process gets change only if you are unable to perform well in any manager expectations. Skill development totally depends on the team leader but I'm sure everyone can show off or polish their skills here.
No work life balance. HR is so rude when you asks for work from home in serious situation. Salary is too less for the work. Promotions are fixed even if you perform better you only get promoted after a certain time that also depend on your team lead likings.
