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.

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

There is no recognition for work, performance ratings are mostly average even after outperforming and fulfilling all the parameters set by supervisor, one can not expect promotion if they have joined as an experienced candidate for atleast 5-6 years even after being eligible

Opportunity to learn - since people are leaving everyday !
Most of the senior mgmt in cognizant are old , stubborn, egoistic and obnoxious people . They refused to work in teams, they refused to work at par with young associates and they have a very capitalistic mentality - they won't read mails and ask for updated on weekends ! The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow

-Its a big organization and there are bureaucracy. But still the process are smooth (Yes, there are delays here & there which is expected) - You have the flexibility to work from any cognizant location you desire (Depends upon some project too) - I personally didn't have any problems availing leaves, which is one of the few things I really appreciate.
- Favoritism ( u will get every opportunity if u are an a** licker) - No scope for growth (If you ambitious, even a little bit do not join this organization. The promotion & salary hikes are horrible) - Leadership team is pathetic. If push comes to shove, they will throw you under the bus and will not hesitate. (Generally it's the duty of a leader to absorb the blow if things don't go a certain direction as they are the one making these decisions.)...Read More

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.
Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

Overall, Cognizant seems to offer a balanced work environment with opportunities for growth and development, especially for those in technical roles
Many employees feel that getting promoted is a tough task and that the company does not offer enough opportunities for career advancement
