Dislikes

Nothing much cons. Just salary increment can be improved and arrears are not good option every year. Try to retain the existing deserving candidate rather than hiring a new one more expensive.

Work Details

Always a challenging environment is good for our own growth and that’s what I did in Cognizant.

The lively environment with the presence of bunch of youngsters across the country was a fun factor in the organisation.

Dislikes

In my 2 years of tenure with this organisation I had faced the worst work environment which didnt give space for my personal life. In terms, of seniors support, i haven't received a any moral support from them which subsequently downrated my motivational level to perform well. The lack of transparency from seniors in terms of careergrowth and learning opportunities. Additionally, freshers are been "exploited" completely regarding long work hours without additional pay....Read More
