... maintain work life balance. For family people, one should ready for sacrifices. I had good recognition for work(not in terms of career growth/compensation..!. It falls under organisation decisions not account decision. will talk about it bot later). Company is investing great amount in future. I.e, research and digitalizing(it seems...!). Not sure when can it reap the fruits of it.

Dislikes

Account wise expectations are sky high but compensation is sea depth low. Promotions are not as promised which is making org. culture in doubt. especially in 20016 - 2018(till date), It is going down in terms of associate satisfaction and unable to stand on to the promises on promotion and very poor hikes. Also higher level people need to start packing their things as soon they may see hit which doubts their livelihood.

You'll go school everyday and work for 10hr but your salary will credited for 9hr, high level of micromanagement, you are notified supposed to take leave irrespective of any scenario (Parental leave or even your own family died) they'll convince you to take leave for 2-5days only. Everyday there will be special warning session with management for 1 hrs with whole floor (e.g, if you are not meeting up the target you'll be sacked, etc etc)

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.
