Auto Promotion seems to be a good thing however, I didn't get it as I am completely 2 years with organization
No HR representative transperancy to contact, I thought that every employee tries to avoid the risk from doing the task

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

If you swith to Cognizant, they will provide good salary compared to other service based company. They also push their associate for skill development with regular certification drive.
The appraisal system dropped drastically in couple of years. Very minimum salary hike with high ratings.

They provide hybrid work culture & location approval as per your need that is the best thing of working in Cognizant.
Here job security is less & those people who were in bench were high chances of layoffs as they don’t get any project.

Work culture is excellent. Mixed culture makes it really good work environment. Free hand in New Projects for getting new profile.
Salary as per industry standards is less, Increment as per previous followups has not been great. But favouritism plays it's part.

I have been learning new technologies since day one, so learning is never stopped for me after joining cognizant
Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you

Worse experience with Cognizant, the project they will assign you won't have future and you have no option they will make you work or go on the bench
No future growth ,the management are just to save there position, no technical knowledge, they will treat you like slave ,they won't approve the leaves and make you to work on Saturday. Mentally they will torcher the agent ,and after few day they will ask the employe to be on the bench and take search new job

I got very high learning opportunities with great role and responsibilities and they had high trust in me.
As other MNCs we have all the dislikes especially we will get support even if we are developers, won't get enough resource for the project as needed so will get high work but I'm lucky to get into the right project but my colleagues were unlucky in there as well.
