Work culture is good here. I work from home now but office provides you good environment. I am happy with my colleagues. Salary hike is good compare to other big company.

Deserving candidate doesn't get recognise in team, people with good rapport are preferred over people who actually work. But not all the time.

Nothing went my way at Cognizant. Had to leave within 2 months. Same with my 2 other colleagues.
Not proper role mapping
Hired persons holding 7-10 yrs of experience and asked to work on L1 profile.
Management is not good at all.
Dislikes
Role mapping
Higher Management
No KT process for new joiner. Learn yourself and work
Culture at cognizant is not helping their colleagues.
Anyone joining with more than 7-10 yrs pf experience. Check everything 10 times before joining.
Be very very very very very very very careful before joining. You will be compromising your peace of mind, your job profile, work life balance. No role of HR.
