It was so lame that many a times my guide who teach us had been changed and was not able to go on training in a proper way. There is so much stress like you don't know what to study but you should prepare by yourself and no help in doubts as guide is new everytime. Like my friends had good guide but i was the unlucky one i think.

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

Here HR’s don’t even listen to our problems. When we need help from HR’s they don’t even respond to our messages or mail but when they need something from us they directly call us. Here, TMP team will say you will get project but when our bench time ends they force us to take up service desk projects by lying you can change projectafter 6 months. They treat us like we are some garbage and they quickly want to throw us in some garbage pot. These service desk project team leads are uneducated, don’t know how hiring happens. They will very much pressure and workload....Read More

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Dislikes
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here. One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More
