Work culture, team spirit, helpful colleagues, good work life balance as compared to other companies
Overall culture is good. Managers are not always understanding - manager employee connect is very less.

I like lot of things, work culture, team members, projects, learning, gym at Cognizant, etc
I can't say I dislike anything. But recently promotions of people have been held for some time and hikes % has been lowered to very low. 5 rating person has 4.5% hike. This is really low compared to industry standards

I appreciate the collaborative environment at Cognizant, where learning and sharing knowledge are highly encouraged. The company offers plenty of growth opportunities and exposure to diverse technologies, such as Salesforce and more, which helps in continuous skill development. Also I became GenC next here right after one year and got all the timely increments and promotions.
While Cognizant offers a lot of growth opportunities, the fast-paced environment can sometimes lead to high work pressure, and balancing multiple projects can be challenging. Additionally, the communication between teams could be improved for smoother project coordination.

The environment is pretty good and gets to learn new things.Also workload is manageable.
No job security. Silent layoffs are done in a disrespectful way including good employees. Very low salary for employees. And mainly doesn't settles your remaining amount after your resignation.

If joined as a fresher then too many learning opportunities will be there. If worked hard and learned all necessary skills as a fresher then environment will remain good.
If joined as a fresher and didn't developed necessary skills then layoff is fixed. Project interviews will be tough. Some manager will own you whereas some projects and people of projects are actually good. So it's like 50/50.

I appreciate Cognizant's commitment to innovative projects, which keeps me constantly learning and growing.The global presence of Cognizant allows me to collaborate with diverse teams and gain a broader perspective.
At times, the fast-paced environment at Cognizant can be challenging, leading to high workloads and tight deadlines. Additionally, coordinating across different time zones can sometimes impact work-life balance.

It have lot of accounts(project units) and lot of workplace in India. We need to be easily switch over projects if you do not satisficed work inside the accounts.

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
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

Having a job
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.

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

Anand from global large deals team.
Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.

Job security is good. Visibility to top management
It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

Work culture is not good at all all, full of toxicity and politics. I was a fresher and my first experience is not good. I would never refer someone to work here atleast not a fresher.

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.
