My job, the work that I do. That's the only thing interesting, the higher management on the other hand? terrible.

Dislikes

...eams group is just so childish and feels like we are in school. Not cool at all. The amount of effort we put in, the salary is nothing compared to it. Let's not even talk about rewards or bonuses. And i believe this is happening in just my team which is huge, it's a whole other department. And I work from home ,so this will not help you if you are someone with an office going role, i have no idea what's going on there. Best of luck.

One Works In Cognizant only if he/she is not getting any other better Opportunity. Avoid Working For Cognizant.

Dislikes

... One has to spend 9 hrs in office even if the day's target achieved before that. Promotions, Better Salary hikes are decided by Closeness to your Manager No Security of Job. If a project ends then the Onus is on Associates of that project to find appropriate position in some other Project. Although there is a WFM team to help the associates in such scenario but they will just share few mails and conduct some meetings, beyond that associate has to find the new position on their own. But Cognizant is a good place for Sycophants. If one has blessings of some Manager then he/she can get good hikes, time bound promotions, can easily move from one project to another

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.
