I liked the way politics happens in Cognizant in design team. Dont join if you want to learn n grow.
Cognizant is company good. no projects, no mangerial ethics and HR are managed by managers and directors. People leave boss not company.
No projects as to learn, management is blind for deaigners they give PowerPoint projects to seniors.

Studio culture and the environment are the most interesting aspects.
They tagged me under wrong designation and because of that I got low salary. For my experience I need to be in A while I am entering but still I am in PA now because of HR mistakes

Wotk life balance is good here.
The main problem is the structure/hirerkey is not in good shape. Seniors are favouring the associates whom they like. Promotions is not given in the right time to right people.

They don't event respect contract employee even though they are senior's than on roll employees. If they any lag in your task they won't even inform you or discuss with you 1 to 1, straight away they will ask you to leave not even considering about the employee life.

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.

Benefits and salary is good. But if you are fresher then you will not get the salary as good for living
First they hire with wrong information and ones you get hired then they will let you know in which process they are dealing with. Second thing the notice period they will ask to serve 3 month of notice period.

I have started as fresher, so learning process was good. They gave good training period to learn the things.
Work-life balance was zero in this company which led to struggle personal life.

Flexibility for in office hours
There is no recognition for work, performance ratings are mostly average even after outperforming and fulfilling all the parameters set by supervisor, one can not expect promotion if they have joined as an experienced candidate for atleast 5-6 years even after being eligible

Opportunity to learn - since people are leaving everyday !
Most of the senior mgmt in cognizant are old , stubborn, egoistic and obnoxious people . They refused to work in teams, they refused to work at par with young associates and they have a very capitalistic mentality - they won't read mails and ask for updated on weekends ! The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow

-Its a big organization and there are bureaucracy. But still the process are smooth (Yes, there are delays here & there which is expected) - You have the flexibility to work from any cognizant location you desire (Depends upon some project too) - I personally didn't have any problems availing leaves, which is one of the few things I really appreciate.
- Favoritism ( u will get every opportunity if u are an a** licker) - No scope for growth (If you ambitious, even a little bit do not join this organization. The promotion & salary hikes are horrible) - Leadership team is pathetic. If push comes to shove, they will throw you under the bus and will not hesitate. (Generally it's the duty of a leader to absorb the blow if things don't go a certain direction as they are the one making these decisions.)...Read More

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.
Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
