Dislikes

The quality of work assign to the team was pathetic, we complained, but got no support from the Management at all. They don't care about anything unless you are billable, one you put your papers suddenly they will jump in and will say that we'll put your name forward for on-site, will give you this much hike, don't leave. Not a good experience at all.

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.
