You get to learn a lot and are encouraged to get more certifications each day

Dislikes

You can be a star performer but if you don't stay there for 5 years you won't get any promotion

Likes

Can find good mentors who can guide you well in difficult times. You will have ample of open sources to lean new skills. You will get access to wide variety of certificate courses. Work environment is good but can be improved.

Dislikes

No job satisfaction. No gifts or awards. Hikes are not good. Low paid jobs. Freshers can get more packages than experience skilled employees. Promotion is based on politics. No opportunity for professional growth

It depends on the team so you can not say just based on your experience whether work culture is good or bad. Overall it's not that bad to not consider altogether.

Dislikes

The freshers joining after college are getting better pay than me, poor increment and long promotion time. No extra benefits.

I really did not like any thing as of now in this company. Trust me on this if you really want to learn and grow and excel do-not join this organisation i request. Your salary , perks, appraisals , everything is below average only. Plus they will demotivate you at every possible events and some day or other you will start thinking whether you actually are good or not. They will fight with you over basic things even though they know it is right. They will never keep their chat history active otherwise their all these activities will get tracked. Their Analytics is far most the worst i have ever seen and heard. So choice is all yours. Best of luck...Read More

Dislikes

Terrible management, They always do micro-management, they will suppose to help you in your growth but instead will ruin your day doing multiple calls, work flow is terrible. Suddenly they take decisions and juggle you between projects. Cognizant will force you to touch the clients feet when it comes to work. My senior directly saidif client say A for Ballon say that dont question. If you question they will highlight your name and ask managers to micro manage you in everything. They dont know work ethics as well. One of the biggest problem is the moment you will have your appraisal or increment they will surely ruin your ratings. This happened with my whole team for example client has shared appreciation letter to 2 of us and next day manager said our performance is below average. Even though you perform well you can never get 4 or 5 star rating as per my manager. If you get 2 escalations your whole year’s good work and rating goes to 2 star. So please make sure if you are planning to move here think twice...Read More

1. Cognizant has a good skill development programme for creating future ready resources. 2. Very less micro management. Cognizant provides a healthy working environment for employees to learn, grow and perform.

Dislikes

1. Cognizant follows the typical rating process based on curve fitting which delays the promotion of many deserving employees. 2. It's very difficult to change BU or move to a different technology even if a candidate has required skill set.
