Top Cognizant Software Developer Interview Questions
If you are lucky enough to get a good manager, then Eureka! You will get a 4/5star rating in appraisal even if you don't do anything the whole year. But you get an egoistic manager, then you'll end up getting 2star rating only even of you've shown excellent performance and got enough recognition from client for excellent work - thiswould eventually affect mental peace!
Security - upto Associate level you can consider that job is quite secured.
Leaves - they provide a good number of leaves. They are helping people amidst the pandemic situation with the leave donation pool also.
Extra - they organise yoga/ livewell sessions but I have never joined those so no idea about that.
Salary - at some point you would realise that you're not getting that much as compared to what you are serving....Read More

Good company from point of learning and getting better exposure. Work culture is great. Bad from point of proper and adequate compensation and benefits. Do not expect timely promotions and appraisals. Had a very bad experience regarding a well deserved and eligible promotion.
