1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.

Dislikes

There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Likes

Good working culture among similar service based company. CTC is straight forward almost like a product based company where fixed component is more and variable component is less Good team and good development projects compared to support projects in other companies Good work life balance

Dislikes

Hikes and promotion are not good. Recent policy changes are not employee friendly Golden days of Cognizant over once Francisco D’Souza tenure as CEO ended

While in working with Cognizant you have to forget your work life balance because you will be forced to worked more than 10 11 hours daily and If you don't, threat of laying off will be given to you through your TL and managers

So far, i do not see any good experiences in terms of ratings, feedback, employee friendly, personal/family related concerns. Just getting pathetic treatment from all sides due to north indian culture and having personal concerns of location preference as bangalore. Always critised for the opportunity they provided like they have given what is not expected as employer. It seems like the employment is chargeable and costs my whole life in chennai only then I deserve to be a right candidate to work in their project. Seniors and HCM managers mostly lack of proper response and fair treatment in terms of opportunities, assignments, consideration, knowledge sharing, project experiences, personal concerns, ratings, feedback and support....Read More

Dislikes

Not feeling good due to consistently forced to change project and degrade ratings. Always denied for preferred location project even after 6 years of work experiences within cognizant. Did not get full exposure and work experience of the study in the project since I am not working as per their location preferrence. HCM managers are only utilising me for their work completion but never support about the personal concern. Mostly tamil managers are sucking the career of North Indian resource and never support since I have location constraints and requested to work from bangalore location. Tamil managers always wanted me to not to work from bangalore location unnecessarily which is very unfair. Not getting proper response and very badly treated by hcm managers or lead within project. This company just looking outside fine but inside it there is hell amount of unfair practices within projects in life science domain. Always critised for not being able to come to Chennai and got the average or poor ratings along with project release....Read More

Dislikes

Too many things to dislike. Zero transperancy in their hiring. Nodal point transport which can be anywhere from 2-5 km radius. 10 hrs shifts and with cab travel, it's 14 hrs shift. Rapid hire and fire company. You get no compensation and have 30 days to find a new job.

Likes

It's MNC so work load is not much and you get nice architecture office and locality

Dislikes

They lay off when they don't have projects. They are over hired and less projects left with them.. you won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently
