Salary and benefits is great.

Dislikes

I had a terrible experience with rating with Manager irrespective of my work. Seems targetted and irresposible manager. But Management gave me upgraded rating as I escalated this issue.

Great work culture. Flexible work hours and awsome colleagues. There is Outreach program which allows us to explore and invest in betterment of the planet. New technologies can be adapted using the skill up program.

Dislikes

The salary package and merti increase is very low compared to the market.

For beginners, compensation and benefits would be unsatisfactory. WLB and culture completely depends on the people and project.

Dislikes

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.

Dislikes

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
