No, as I do remember
I was very disappointed over compensation and career growth prospects. Every time, i was very disappointed promotion thing, I was good performer process deliverables all the times and I was unable to get the promotion after 3 long years. That's the reason I switched to another organization.
Some what better from last one year, but prior to the was very horrible.

If they paying as per your expectation then go for it. They have good opportunities to learn.
Salary hikes are not upto industry standards. At 5 years of experience you will get 30% to 40% salary lower than the industry standards.

Learning scope is good. You have a dedicated platform to explore and learn the skill of your choice at your convenience.
Promotion cycle/criteria changes recently adopted (Internal Job Moves) - allowing supervisors to promote the resources to next level without a specific criteria. This is creating official platform for favourability.

Cognizant will be give you access to Udemy and many more other platforms from which you can do any courses for free of cost and level up yourself.
While in working with Cognizant you have to forget your work life balance because you will be forced to worked more than 10 11 hours daily and If you don't, threat of laying off will be given to you through your TL and managers

MNC benefits.
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

Good working culture among similar service based company. CTC is straight forward almost like a product based company where fixed component is more and variable component is less Good team and good development projects compared to support projects in other companies Good work life balance
Hikes and promotion are not good. Recent policy changes are not employee friendly Golden days of Cognizant over once Francisco D’Souza tenure as CEO ended

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.
Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.

Work depends upon what project you get. Had a chance to work on a small project from scratch.
Work timings are pathetic. You work at your regular timings and still have to login later for client calls. In my case mostly extending till midnight. The hybrid culture here is totally unproductive. Upper management is worse, expects you to be available anytime for calls.

Nothing good
(Cognizant) phinix "H4 building", work-life balance it's not possible it's a BPO SECTOR it's a 10 hour's work ROTATION SHIFT you only have to work no other activities happens you will get fed-up FRUSTRATED. The company management DOSE NOT CARE ABOUT THE AGENTS WHO WORK THERE. ITS ONLY POLITICS. THE MORE YOU👅THERE AS 🫏 AND ACCEPT WHAT ALL THEY SAY YOU ARE SAFE. The cognizant H4 building company dose not take you for an outing. They only have annual yearly party Organized for perticular projects. For team outing they ask the agents to add money to go out for a dinner. We all have to work just like 🐶 . I don't have an option and I am stuck in Cognizant company. I am just working for money to take care of my family...Read More

I had been worked in cognizant for almost 2.9 years. Overall it was good to work with cognizant , up and downs were there but during my bench period I learned too many technologies that help me to grow in personal and professional growth thankful that cognizant have free Udemy access however each and everyone can learn the new technologies.
While giving ratings appreciation must be given to an employee, whether it may be a 1 or 5 ratings.

There's lots of opportunities to grow and get skilled in latest technologies. Certification opportunities and widely available. Work Life balance vary from project to project.
Even though the fixed components are higher than many companies, it's quite less compared to many leading it giants. The yearly increment is very less and it's zero to none for freshers. Appraisal of 5 star rating is almost never given even after going above and beyond expectations. You'll be compensated with bare minimum cheer points.

Nothing I liked. One of the torcher organisation. Making people to commit Suicide with their behaviour. No support from anyone.
One of the worst organisation I have worked in my entire life. With no good faculty no work support. Making human torcher with their work. Mis-using of all leads. There is no person who is ready to listen to agents. If we do anything or not it's completely comes under our fault. If you don't know anything if you ask its your fault.

Don't expect any appraisal or hikes or any benefits. And you have to follow strictly office timing there is no any exception. They are following some office politics and favorites. No leaves approval you have to beg for your leaves approval
