Design culture is good and is only limited to the Design department. In the age of digital transformation, they are yet to adapt the Design Thinking mindset organization wide.
Pay is horrible and old employees are exploited with extremely low pay, No work-life balance, policies are worst, and Review and feedback mechanism is just for the sake of it and adds no value. Ratings are predecided irrespective of performance. I guess the Rating system is flawed in the majority of companies and should be discarded.

Studio culture and the environment are the most interesting aspects.
They tagged me under wrong designation and because of that I got low salary. For my experience I need to be in A while I am entering but still I am in PA now because of HR mistakes

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.

One good thing is they will not touch your job until you're on project.
You need to be girl or manager's assistance to get promotion. Once you come to bench you're all gonee!!

Working at cognizant really helps me a lot both in personal and professional way .The work life balance & company culture was good and the allowances they provide apart from the salary was excellent...I really enjoyed my 3 years at Cognizant.
One thing I dislike about these companies are there is no guarantee of job security...they will pick 10/15 employees and moved them to different project within the company (internal movement)..which I think is a part of business but needs to be reviewed....

Great process exposure, smooth hiring process, extended work from home tenure during lockdown, good floor environment (colleagues and Aquantances).
Long work hours/ no work life balance, rudest possible SDM - almost held vendetta against the staff (process specific), internal politics and favoritism (process specific),

As a whole cognizant is excellent. They provide excellent skill development.
At Hyderabad location a manager called sankalp is very rude and very miss behaved person and a manager called simran they both handle google projects since they both are friends. They have favouritism in them very worst managers because of them many employees drop. And cognizant is loosing its name.
Work policy: No hybrid structure all 5 days there was wfo.

Healthcare process -:Management is racist, womaniser. Regional language (marathi) is not allowed on floor. Wherein management will speak Bhojpuri, Bengali, Malyali languages which is not regional according to them. Even if company is in Pune Maharashtra they strictly inform not to speak in marathi as management is not Maharashtrian.If they hate marathi language why are they living in Maharashtra , they should go to their native State. Promotion are only for female employes, lickers 😛🍑 chatus and for others who bring 🥃🍺 for management. Leaves are given only to favourite emp. Even if medical documents are submitted they will apply NCNS. People who are issued warning letter for abusing on floor, fighting on floor are given promotion as they are favourite,lickiers 😛🍑chatus. Management has created there own family on floor which includes bhai, behne, bhabhi, devar, jeth, jethani, nand, soutan and Big Daddy. Management needs full gossip of every employe. Management watches reels and do videos call on floor and says mobile is not allowed to employees. Favouritism is the policy followed by management. Markdowns will be reverted only for favourite and lickers 😛🍑 chatu employees. False hopes given to retain employees. Personal grudges are kept if u don't become slave of the management....Read More
