I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

Nothing to like except to learn how to survive in toxic management.

Dislikes

Never ever join cognizant those who have had technical skills, dreams to thrive in career also have family responsibilities as Cognizant job security is Zero. Projects are surrendered and handled by incapable management. Anytime one can be off boarded from project even though performing well.

Work life balance is good. Job satisfaction is also fair. Company pays fair enough. I am not satisfied or I should say I am not impressed with the appraisal procedure implemented by the management. Post 1 year no appraisal at all or the performance bonus. They have their own way of doing it in the month of July or August and it doesn’t matter when you have completed 1 year.

Dislikes

Appraisal and performance bonus payout .

Likes

Dislikes

Opportunity to learn - since people are leaving everyday !

Dislikes

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 The tools used in CTS are outdated and buggy making the work very very slow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.

Dislikes

- 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

Ambience, Cultural activities, facilities

Dislikes

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years. I got first promotion and 100% hike in just 1 year when my ex lead was there, it has been almost 3 years from my last promotion from then very less hike. But the amount hard work 4 persons work handling single handed....Read More
