Lot of learning opportunities. Nothing else
Dislikes
Treating unethical and un professionals way. No matter how long you are working with cognizant. They don't help you with finding new projects. They will start threatening the people from day one once you moved to bench. There is no worklife balance as we need to log 10 hrs at office. They say that 1 hr lunch time included in it. Overall I don't recommend my friends to join. Also all the facilities are managed by contractors so they don't listen employees concerns...like food at canteen, coffee and etc...Read More

Just another IT service company. Your overall experience will depend on the project and your manager.
Dislikes
There is a too much of politics and nepotism. Appraisal system is broken. Your manger has power to make or break your career. Stay away from Kolkata DCX(Dynamics CRM) practice. It is run by 2/3 persons who does not have any technical knowledge.
