CTS is good..okay to work
Dislikes
There is lack of support from HR depth. It only comes into picture when giving a warning, exit news, putting people on bench, any bad report ..no support for bench employees, listens to operations teams being bais. NO decision of its own as a dept.
Operations sr managers use insulting languages, they invite pandoras box of questions from clients unnecessarily, asks unwanted data to be pulled, misbehaved using unethical language..lay off employees basis on their personal choice etc.. Need a strong leadership not just managers..no growth opportunities, managers stop talking to employees whom they do not like. No exposure to enhancing skills, align unnecessary courses which is heavy time consuming. Targets are to accomplish managers own goals to get salary hikes and promotions..unnecessary decks to bevoreoared knowing the client dies not talk but the deck ..at all.....Read More

Working at cognizant really helps me a lot both in personal and professional way .The work life balance & company culture was good and the allowances they provide apart from the salary was excellent...I really enjoyed my 3 years at Cognizant.

Dislikes
One thing I dislike about these companies are there is no guarantee of job security...they will pick 10/15 employees and moved them to different project within the company (internal movement)..which I think is a part of business but needs to be reviewed....

Healthcare process -:Management is racist, womaniser. Regional language (marathi) is not allowed on floor. Wherein management will speak Bhojpuri, Bengali, Malyali languages which is not regional according to them. Even if company is in Pune Maharashtra they strictly inform not to speak in marathi as management is not Maharashtrian.If they hate marathi language why are they living in Maharashtra , they should go to their native State. Promotion are only for female employes, lickers 😛🍑 chatus and for others who bring 🥃🍺 for management.
Leaves are given only to favourite emp. Even if medical documents are submitted they will apply NCNS. People who are issued warning letter for abusing on floor, fighting on floor are given promotion as they are favourite,lickiers 😛🍑chatus. Management has created there own family on floor which includes bhai, behne, bhabhi, devar, jeth, jethani, nand, soutan and Big Daddy. Management needs full gossip of every employe. Management watches reels and do videos call on floor and says mobile is not allowed to employees.
Favouritism is the policy followed by management.
Markdowns will be reverted only for favourite and lickers 😛🍑 chatu employees. False hopes given to retain employees. Personal grudges are kept if u don't become slave of the management....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.
Skill development - Good
Dislikes
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.
