Dislikes
Slow promotions despite of excellent rating. External talents are promoted. People who continue to perform with top ratings are not given the same despite of continued tenurity.
Very very slow growth. If you leave cognizant and come back after a year, you ll get promotion

Their training program is good
Dislikes
After giving training in academy, there are lot of irregularities in project allocation. Joiners have to wait for 1-6 weeks for projects and also some problems after that. They also don't allow them to report from home during this waiting period (where they are just sitting idle for days).

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.
