Dislikes

I would say dislike is compensation. I have been working here for 11 years but still I do not reach 8LPA. As per manager or HR confirmation I should be relieved and re-join in this company, so that I can get above 10 LPA.

I work in cognizant for 2+ yrs and my only concern is about the pay slab they fix for freshers is too low compared to market slab. And you have to wait for 1.8 yrs for promotion. Apart from that cognizant is the best place to work and you can gain lot of process knowledge.

10 hrs work policy is a biggest disadvantage. And pay slab for freshers is too low, I will not recommend cognizant for freshers.
