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.

Management will not care about your problems. Salary is low compared to competitors. They'll change your project at September and for year end rating they'll simply say we haven't got chance to fully understand your capabilities as you've recently joined in the project. Every year this loop continues. No matter how hard you work or how many appreciations you get from client. "The more number of days you're in the same LOB, the more rating you'll get." (This is the excuse I've got when I questioned about the rating, despite having multiple client appreciations). This demotivates for sure!...Read More

The most I disliked is the annual hikes which is just peanuts. They have given 3-5% hikes to all the employees ( 5% was the maximum hike given to the top performers, rest all got 3-4%.
Management forced us to work on weekends from office which could have been easily managed from home as no one comes on weekends and feels like I am in graveyard, and the entire bay remains empty.

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
