Cognizant has its challenges as a workplace. While there are learning opportunities, the work environment and work-life balance heavily depend on the project, which can make the experience unpredictable. Overall, it’s not the most rewarding place to work.
Job security - Good
Dislikes
The salary is low, promotions take forever, and the work culture isn’t great. It really depends on the project, but overall, it’s not the best experience.

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.

Dislikes
Higher management is worst, total cmpy internal politics will rule the process, no ethics and values in this cmpy and force us to resign when we ask anything and they'll go egoistic
Working hours is 10 hrs, they will put lot of pressure to complete the work, they hire only limited people bcoz budget limitations and we have to extend the shifts till 12 - 14 hrs a day
Promotions will be available only for chamchas (who will say always yes to Managers)...Read More
