1. Free cabs but that too you have to reach the nodal point. But your nodal point will be atleast 1.5 KMS in radius around you house.
Nothing apart from this.
Dislikes
1. 10 Hours per day shift.
2. People at the leads itself, do not respect their team mates those who all are working under them.
3. The leads are dominating agents reporting under them.
4. Shift allowance will not credit properly along with your salary.
5. If any leads friend or family members are in bench they will hire them to their project and do nothing beneficial for the project and after very few months, leads will send those relatives to better projects.
6. Too much of favouritism and partiality.
7. People around the leads are get glorified every moment.
8. Most of the people either old or new employee, none knows the major company policies atleast.
9. Even if you reach out to HR team, they will redirect again to your project manager who do not know the complete policies and this circle keeps circling without any resolution.
10. One of the poi are at work culture every seen or heard in life....Read More

Maybe I had a bad team or something, no one supported for anything. Too many formalities unlike Infosys and DXC. Even the clearance procedure after quitting is too long. If you text leads to help just 10 days after resignation they ignore it casually. I would never recommend Cognizant ! Too many scams are happening inside the team, no one is monitoring those. Its really easy for scamming in this company. Policies are not transparent, or even if it is leads are pure evil....Read More
