There's nothing to like about Cognizant except the campus of Phase 3 Pune
Honestly speaking it's a very poorly run company. They don't give any salary hikes. Also, it's appalling to see that how less they care about their employees.

Job security is the first policy which most satisfied to work more effectively. All company policies are like to be adhere.
Salary is not getting satisfied for the effortness of work were given and recognition adress is missing a bit though In a tough situation once resolved any glitches.
I'm satisfying with work by balancing both work life and personal life. Some benefits seems helpful in a right situation. Management supports well. Encourages to cross train in other teams for supporting. Encouraging in other curricular activities.

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.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

Pathetic conditions as there are no good projects and bench policies are strict as hell that will land you up in the situation of getting terminated.

earlier CEO who really helped resources to grow
Depends on project to project and if you are stuck in a project where you cannot bear and environment is very much toxic so you won't get any help from your managers. either you succumb or move out

Salary, benefits, appraisals, recognition is non existent. Plus there's a lot of politics here, so much that you'll wanna rip your hair off

The work culture is positive and the facilities are excellent. Cognizant provides ample opportunities for professional development and knowledge expansion.
There are concerns regarding the current hike and promotion policies, as well as the requirement for employees to work from the office despite the lack of a compelling reason. Given that collaboration can be effectively achieved through remote work using Teams, it would be more efficient to allow employees to work from home. With such less salary and hikes it is impossible for one to work here.

Only thing I like in cognizant is that we have good learning platform
There are no proper hikes. When questioned about hikes we are answered with "you have to be grateful that you at least have a job". Also no promotion, even if we get promoted we have to wait for too lang to get it on papers. This is for Non-IT surface.

Encourages in learning and development.
It depends on the manager you are working with. If your manager understands you then you are good or else you are in real bad shape.

Cognizant will be give you access to Udemy and many more other platforms from which you can do any courses for free of cost and level up yourself.
While in working with Cognizant you have to forget your work life balance because you will be forced to worked more than 10 11 hours daily and If you don't, threat of laying off will be given to you through your TL and managers

So far, i do not see any good experiences in terms of ratings, feedback, employee friendly, personal/family related concerns. Just getting pathetic treatment from all sides due to north indian culture and having personal concerns of location preference as bangalore. Always critised for the opportunity they provided like they have given what is not expected as employer. It seems like the employment is chargeable and costs my whole life in chennai only then I deserve to be a right candidate to work in their project. Seniors and HCM managers mostly lack of proper response and fair treatment in terms of opportunities, assignments, consideration, knowledge sharing, project experiences, personal concerns, ratings, feedback and support....Read More
Not feeling good due to consistently forced to change project and degrade ratings. Always denied for preferred location project even after 6 years of work experiences within cognizant. Did not get full exposure and work experience of the study in the project since I am not working as per their location preferrence. HCM managers are only utilising me for their work completion but never support about the personal concern. Mostly tamil managers are sucking the career of North Indian resource and never support since I have location constraints and requested to work from bangalore location. Tamil managers always wanted me to not to work from bangalore location unnecessarily which is very unfair. Not getting proper response and very badly treated by hcm managers or lead within project. This company just looking outside fine but inside it there is hell amount of unfair practices within projects in life science domain. Always critised for not being able to come to Chennai and got the average or poor ratings along with project release....Read More

Having a job
Too many things to dislike. Zero transperancy in their hiring. Nodal point transport which can be anywhere from 2-5 km radius. 10 hrs shifts and with cab travel, it's 14 hrs shift. Rapid hire and fire company. You get no compensation and have 30 days to find a new job.

It's MNC so work load is not much and you get nice architecture office and locality
They lay off when they don't have projects. They are over hired and less projects left with them.. you won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently

Anand from global large deals team.
Few members of the global large deals team are worse. Priya raghav and Ashwini rathore doesn't know how to talk to people. Ashwini even talked about my family very rudely. I would suggest don't join cognizant. Even if you join, don't join the global large deals team. Your life will be miserable.

Job security is good. Visibility to top management
It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

The job role is fine.
Work culture is not good at all all, full of toxicity and politics. I was a fresher and my first experience is not good. I would never refer someone to work here atleast not a fresher.

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.
