Nothing
No hike, no job security, no skill development, no easy transportation.even if you learn new technologies they will ask for experience and make you work in technology which you already know.if you do "jing jack" you will get everything else you will be cornered and make you to think resigning is best than staying there

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.
1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

There is nothing to like.
Pathetic conditions as there are no good projects and bench policies are strict as hell that will land you up in the situation of getting terminated.

Salary & benefits
Zero job security. No project for freshers. Project Managers do not want freshers in most of the cases. After 1-2 years it leads to termination. Fake job programs in bench period. They don't care about employees career. Don't believe in job programs during bench period. They do not give project what they promises after passing a certain number of exams. You are on your own. Salary is good no doubt. This is where freshers get trapped. Skills are important at the beginning. Please understand if any fresher is seeing this....Read More

My team is really nice, and it's not the case with all the other teams.
Salary, benefits, appraisals, recognition is non existent. Plus there's a lot of politics here, so much that you'll wanna rip your hair off

The environment is pretty good and gets to learn new things.Also workload is manageable.
No job security. Silent layoffs are done in a disrespectful way including good employees. Very low salary for employees. And mainly doesn't settles your remaining amount after your resignation.

The work culture is positive and the facilities are excellent. Cognizant provides ample opportunities for professional development and knowledge expansion.
There are concerns regarding the current hike and promotion policies, as well as the requirement for employees to work from the office despite the lack of a compelling reason. Given that collaboration can be effectively achieved through remote work using Teams, it would be more efficient to allow employees to work from home. With such less salary and hikes it is impossible for one to work here.

Cognizant offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They also have programs to support employee well-being and work-life balance.
Some employees at Cognizant have reported concerns about long working hours, potential for job insecurity due to the company's reliance on large contracts, and occasional bureaucratic processes.

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
Even if we work good and get good appreciation from client you will get only 2 rating. This is the worst part and hike percentage is very low.
