Cognizant Software Engineer II Reviews

Likes

I liked my profile and job

Dislikes

the unwanted politics amongst seniors to bully their juniors, i was kind of harassed by newly appoiinted manager. Supercedness by seniors; ignoring the situations, dedicatedly commiting on everything to the client requirement without consulting with team members who actually knows what the scenario and work is.

Likes

Campus and Scope for personal skill development.

Dislikes

No promotion for more than 2 yrs, manager citing dumb reasons like he got low rating so take yours low as well. Asked to invent new things, create issue and solve them to show as achivement. Repeatative copy paste job, manager is dumb, higher management don't care anything abt employee.

I have had the opportunity to work with clients, and I appreciate the client positive environment. which makes the work experience enjoyable. However, I feel that there isn’t anything particularly unique about the company itself.

Dislikes

I appreciate my time at the company and the collaborative environment we have. However, I would like to express that the lack of promotions and salary increases has been a concern for me. It can be discouraging when hard work doesn't seem to be recognized through career advancement or financial rewards. I believe that addressing these aspects could greatly enhance employee satisfaction and motivation....Read More

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.

Dislikes

There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

1. Salary 2. Scope to learn and apply it in project. CTS provides access to Udemy where we can enroll into courses as much as we want, but our team faced lack of opportunities to apply them in project.

It is good for beginners, avoid going into support project as they will make you work even on your sick days off. And HR wont help in this case either.

Dislikes

Work-life balance is close to non-existant. Really poor promotion cycles. No help from anyone if the project shuts down, you will have to look for another one on your own , else they will remove you. Used to pay fairly but is now as good as literally any other company like TCS, Infosys in terms of both work quality and compensation. No real way to move vertically based on merit unlike TCS.

Seniors and team leader are very toxic. Seniors scold very badly to freshers even if you don't small mistake. They will call you anytime other than shift timings for their convenience. They are pressuring to complete your work before the shift timings. There is no work life balance

If ur manager is good and have guiding nature and judges u on the basis of work, u r soo lucky else u will have praise them(iykyk).

Dislikes

So much of internal politics goes on. My manager has pulled her brother into the same project and he has been been promoted to associate within very time irrespective of his work. His work quality is very poor. And during client meeting also, he was not able to convey his deliverables properly. The client was not at all satisfied and irrespective of all this he got promotion this time.
