One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.

...ging projects or people. It’s just that they give you a Manager designation. Your salary and variable component increases accordingly but you don’t get to do any real management work. Udemy is free here, so you may learn if you have time. No one, literally no one from Cognizant will tell you what to do to grow up in corporate ladder. May be the culture has changed recently as I see a lot of old timers leaving the company in herds. There is no employee engagement. Senior management is only concerned about getting status for the work but they don’t engage with employees. At times I feel like I’m a freelancer here. There is no one who you can go to with your problems. Even for simple things like time sheet, people are clueless.

Dislikes

Lot of politics. appraisals are hog wash.. Ratings are predecided and if you move from one department to another your ratings are downgraded even if you have done a great job in your previous project. The management thinks that a project can be done by freshers they do not value Senior members of the team. If you are on Bench getting another project is very tough and you'll be asked to leave by HR in 5 wks. Always there is a threat to your job.
