Once you completed your project, and if you are on bench if you’re not able to get another project within 35 days, 35 calendar days, not even working days, then you have to resign to your job and you’ll get mails show cause notices from HR after 35 days. That’s the situation in Cogniznt.

I don’t see any positives here. I have worked at different companies, and the work culture in this one is not as good compared to others. There is no value for employees. I think many people have been working here for long years, but most senior employees, especially project managers, don’t have knowledge of the current project domains. For me, it has been a very bad experience. I believe this should be the last preference for anyone. If people have no other option, only then should they consider this company....Read More

Regional discrimination, favouring the people from Tamil and no respect to the other regions. Even the deserving appreciation is never recieved.

Nothing at all

Dislikes

I was forced to work on weekends as well. Got a frustrated onsite lead who once got high and abused my mother on an early morning call. It was notified to the management, they first played politics in making be believe that he will be replaced and will be fired from the company. Later on I was released overnight from the project without any prior information. Their HR policy is extremely bad and they do not care about truly resolving the issues of employees....Read More

Job is secure, the work life balance as they are only asking to join office for 2 days as of now, also depends upon projects

Dislikes

No Appraisal/Appreciations/Salary hike is also very low, Even you have given them more then 100% of of efforts with full results and appreciation from client are there but managers and Hr's won't budge while asking for better Appraisal or Ratings

There are two types of people: those who follow hierarchy and those who see everyone in the team as equal contributors. I like the latter.

It depends on the project which you are into

Dislikes

Cognizant is suitable for only experienced persons as in every project they will provide priority to experienced persons rather than less experienced. They didn't evaluate you even if you are sound in your technology

Flexibility of extended remote work

Dislikes

The management is never in the favour of its employees. You will not get any benefits apart from the extra work that you have to do everyday. The appraisal is very less and on some years they delay it. I got a rating of 5/5 and my delayed appraisal for this year was 8% They will never release you from the project even if you're unhappy in it. You'll be forced to resign in the situation.
