As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

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.

Dislikes
But if you give more importance to mental health than salary don't join this company. You are literally a slave of the client and no body will speak for you.. and if your too lucky to get a client like Novartis(pharmaceutical company) and especially get into celonis tool project then you can say bye bye to your mental health and just hug the salary you get and stay. Working hard is not the issue but the politics they play and the slavery you guys will experience is more than what was done in the colonization period. Hope everyone understands my mental health state currently and would deeply analyze before joining cognizant or Novartis....Read More

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.

Opportunity to learn - since people are leaving everyday !
Dislikes
Most of the senior mgmt in cognizant are old , stubborn, egoistic and obnoxious people .
They refused to work in teams, they refused to work at par with young associates and they have a very capitalistic mentality - they won't read mails and ask for updated on weekends !
The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow

-Its a big organization and there are bureaucracy. But still the process are smooth (Yes, there are delays here & there which is expected)
- You have the flexibility to work from any cognizant location you desire (Depends upon some project too)
- I personally didn't have any problems availing leaves, which is one of the few things I really appreciate.
Company culture - Good
Work-life balance - Good
Dislikes
- Favoritism ( u will get every opportunity if u are an a** licker)
- No scope for growth (If you ambitious, even a little bit do not join this organization. The promotion & salary hikes are horrible)
- Leadership team is pathetic. If push comes to shove, they will throw you under the bus and will not hesitate. (Generally it's the duty of a leader to absorb the blow if things don't go a certain direction as they are the one making these decisions.)...Read More

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
