Good work environment and culture there is a huge cafeteria and gaming arcade for chilling company policies are very good appraisals are fair and they give good salary hiku and bonus every year
There is a lot of politics and management doesn't address our issues salary is decent but Career growth is slow there is a bond of 2 years before which you can not resign on the job training is not given to new joinees
The job is quite interesting struggled a bit in the beginning as there was no formal training session.i learnt everything on the job.i got a chance to wear multiple hats and that helped me get a taste of different roles within the same team.

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.

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 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.

Encourages in learning and development.
It depends on the manager you are working with. If your manager understands you then you are good or else you are in real bad shape.

work life balance and fixed work timings
upper management rates poor for disliking someone, they do not allow to speak or raise any doubts in front of clients in the meetings, they expect you to say yes to managers when in client meetings and zero input or discussions.

Earlier Along with compines benifits , they thought about their employees as well. They used to gave good hike , timely promotion and even in covid time they alloted more leaves and provides extra salary for 2-3 months as well.
Since the changes in Top leadership , the promotion & Appraisal has been terrible. Once you will be released from current project, it is highly unlikely to get another.

If you have good project, you getting everything. Good team, good appraisal, job security and all.
if you in bench, HR will torture you to put resignation within one month. also you have no option to choose project and select anything worst comes to you. no proper shift allowances will provided. they have zero 0% for mental health 100% for work.

I have been learning new technologies since day one, so learning is never stopped for me after joining cognizant
Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
