Cognizant QA Reviews

Likes

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.

Dislikes

Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

I like working in Cognizant, I won’t say this is best place to work, but if you are looking for settle or tired of weird culture or any issue. This company is better then those.

Dislikes

Here Manager literally owns the company, straight forward rule, you have do everything that your manager says, to manager and get progress. Variable and Bonus get cut down to 20-30% only. Even if you perform the best.

MNC benefits.

Dislikes

Authoritative Leadership, Office politics, Biased opportunities and performance reviews. Forced attrition. Insurance policy is not good. Delayed hikes and promotions, Extended work hours due to hybrid work policy. Pets take most of the perks unless you work so hard that they have to share some. However, these are most common things that you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company....Read More

Anand from global large deals team.

Dislikes

Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.

Likes

Job security is good. Visibility to top management

Dislikes

It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

Dislikes

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here. One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More
