Salary Hikes Promotions Non supportive Manager Lack of guidance and learning skills

Likes

With the changes happening at CTS there are multiple opportunities to explore in terms of role, though growth options are limited within the co. with budget cuts and scaled promotions. Hikes have also been inconsistent at senior levels and very minimal in %. Lot of scope to learn and develop and leverage it elsewhere. Teams are very collaborative by nature, no major hierarchy culture. Onsite opportunities earlier prior to covid used to be easier if you knew managers. Good work life balance.

Dislikes

Compensation is lower and growth very slow. Now with the organizational changes, slow to change and process adoption. Mentorship at Manager level lacking and not outcome driven. Acknowledgement from stakeholders disregarded during promotions, promotions manager driven. Lot of skill enablement opportunities within the concern but no management drive on completion.

Likes

Cognizant have lot of job opportunities and provide nice pay according to market standards. People working in cognizant can switch to other technology and work on it.

Dislikes

Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.

Will get salary that is ok

Dislikes

But if you give more importance to mental health than salary don't join this company. You are literally a slave of the client and no body will speak for you.. and if your too lucky to get a client like Novartis(pharmaceutical company) and especially get into celonis tool project then you can say bye bye to your mental health and just hug the salary you get and stay. Working hard is not the issue but the politics they play and the slavery you guys will experience is more than what was done in the colonization period. Hope everyone understands my mental health state currently and would deeply analyze before joining cognizant or Novartis.

...ith. But I should say it also purely depends on the team which we have put into. The salary is higher for freshers and lateral compared to other companies.

Dislikes

We cannot expect good ratings and promotion even if we deserve it. As they ask you to work 10 hrs continuously, you will not have time to develop your skills.
