First of all there is nothing to dislike. But especially it would have been better if HR/Management had considered or focused the issue of salary structure. I can remember that, when I had promoted from Associate to Sr. Associate then my salary was hike only Rupees - 71 (in words - seventy one rupees only). Job security was very low of that particular project which is a main and first essential matter of an employee and another thing is that, there having some politics/partiality, however it's depends on human mind or nature and particularly project specific. Apart from that everything was well and good.

What I like most about cognizant is their toxic work culture and politics. To be honest, if there were jobs offers I wud have left cognizant, unfortunately my career is losing grip because of Emi's and rent pay. They just only pay you 20k for 4 years, no promotions, no awards, no recognition and no growth. And they ( Home Managers) fake all their policies and they humiliate people in front of all the teammates and colleagues, likewise in front of 40-50 group ppls if there is work done 80/100 % and if we ask about wholesome variables pay and incentives, they forced you to go to cognizant portal and give resignation. I have every screenshot of humiliation and disrespectful and cheating of my managers and other project heads
