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.

Growth and carrier opportunity. Bucket of benefits is adjustable which is good. Quality work and new skills learning opportunity
Work culture is not good. Team size is always minimised. Managers are too demanding. No work life balance

Working environment in every project differs. My starting project was very well employee friendly. Leave policies are good here.
Some projects do micro management. You will get irritated by management.

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.
Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.
Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

Auto Promotion seems to be a good thing however, I didn't get it as I am completely 2 years with organization
No HR representative transperancy to contact, I thought that every employee tries to avoid the risk from doing the task

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Cognizant offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They also have programs to support employee well-being and work-life balance.
Some employees at Cognizant have reported concerns about long working hours, potential for job insecurity due to the company's reliance on large contracts, and occasional bureaucratic processes.

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
Even if we work good and get good appreciation from client you will get only 2 rating. This is the worst part and hike percentage is very low.
