Cognizant Associate Java Developer salaries in Kolkata

Likes

Job security is ok, recently company policy has been upgraded for leave encashment which is good

Dislikes

...otion happens based on supervisor recommendation, not based on your performance. Salary hike is very less. If you are long time in Organization and not able to make some good contacts who can recommend you for better opportunities and promotion, the workplace can be turned out as hell. There is politics - each and every kind. This is service based company - good contacts matter here. Opportunity of new learning is very less. Work culture is very poor.

Dislikes

Compassion and salary is very low. Lots of management politics involved in your grow. Project change or technology change is very difficult. Talent not recognized here. Less onsite opportunity now a days.
