It is good only because of the google process and this is not employee centric company. They dont even try to retain their old employees.
Management do not take interest in the employee hard work. And this is not employee centric company. Your job is not guaranteed in this company and the growth is next to impossible in this company. Management do not care about employees hard work.
It was good just because the client was Google.

Yes
For a 2.5 lakh package, the health benefits are the same as those for a 10 lakh package. However, based on the cost of living, there are no benefits for associates on low packages (e.g., in BPO or non-growth departments) after more than five years. There is a lack of development opportunities, leading to career stagnation at Cognizant.

I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

The company is known for its emphasis on continuous learning and development, offering employees plenty of opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. Additionally, Cognizant is involved in various innovative projects across different industries, which can be exciting and rewarding for those who enjoy tackling complex challenges and contributing to transformative solutions.
The work-life balance could be better, Salary growth and increments could be substantial, Promotion that is not always on merit list, Senior Management communication and support from leadership should be better.

Nothing much to say..may be in some processes you find better work management.
Increment, promotion is based on favourism most of the time, not much opportunity to learn improve your skills. You may see biasness in management style. Allowances gets decreased with unexplainable reasons. Senior managers busy on flattering.

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.

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More

Work life balance is good and flexibility of work pressure but it's surely depends on the project and the manager.

Lots of project, so job security is there. Work-life balance (again depends on the client and project).
Extra benefits like (insurance and term insurance etc are not up to standard.) Salary hike is very less.

Cognizant policy and benifits was good.
Partiality, Lake support from your current supervisor when you release from any project you have to interview again many times, location was also the main concern since lake of opportunity in North.

CTS provides a good work life balance and decent salary. All other things depends on the type of project which you got.
As a fresher you will be getting support projects , so be aware before choosing any project.
