Nice company to settle down. Career growth is less. Work life balance depends on the project and leads you get.
Salary hike were good but getting bad day by day. They're getting short on projects so laying off many people.

Senior associate are always ready to help you out and teach you like a brother or sister and good working environment.
For my process salary is not good but I am doing lot of hard work and putting lot of effort but at the end of month whatever cognizant technology solution is paying it doesn't worth the effort.
I am in Quality team so my work is very hectic but I love it because if I need to build myself I need to learn how to take pressure and how to meet our deliverables....Last but not the least if you want to grow yourself then you need to Love your work.

Employee welfare is just a show! They do actually care for their employees. They just see them as money making machines, if they are on maternity or pregnant or going through personal issues can be easily replaceable without giving a second thought about what happens to that employee

It's about the connectivity to the city,the office habitat culture and the work space it's quite good which creates a good place to work.
In terms of work life balance cognizant doesn't do anything it's only depends on your client and in cognizant benching is the factor which makes your job in non securable here.

=>My job is more like a technical support which involves handling customer calls, troubleshoot customer queries, providing resolutions, handling emails and chats. =>Mine is a US Project(Totally night shift) =>It's been 7 months since i joined Cognizant and its' been 4 and a half months since i joined this project =>My team members were really helpful through out this time, without them i wouldn't have managed during all these months. =>I'm really satisified with my team mates...Read More
=>The Major Cons of working in this project is the night shift(everytime) my health is detiorating constantlly(Lack of sleep, irregular eating habits) =>Mostly working in a US project means in my case it's a 24/7 client support, which means no holidays for any indian festivals (Ganesh chaturthi, Dusshera, Diwali)I usually had to apply for leave during festival times =>As it's a 24/7 customer support. there are no celebrations for any festivals or new year(literally sucks)my manager - he always thinks about customer satisfaction and client mails everytime =>Partiality - No matter how hard you work, how much efforts you make, you'll never get a small appreciation to boost your work, but rather errors will be spotted in each and every thing you do....Read More

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.
Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here. One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More

Work culture is excellent. Mixed culture makes it really good work environment. Free hand in New Projects for getting new profile.
Salary as per industry standards is less, Increment as per previous followups has not been great. But favouritism plays it's part.

Good resources for upgrading the skills. Good scope in projects.
No proper work-life balance. If the team is good then you have proper work - life balance otherwise no proper work-life balance.

I like working in Cognizant, I won’t say this is best place to work, but if you are looking for settle or tired of weird culture or any issue. This company is better then those.
Here Manager literally owns the company, straight forward rule, you have do everything that your manager says, to manager and get progress. Variable and Bonus get cut down to 20-30% only. Even if you perform the best.
