Dislikes

This company does not inform for exact role they are hiring candidates, students who got placed from campus were informed it was software engineer trainee, later on they brought us in customer service desk role. They do not treat all their employees equally, for example let me narrate you a incident, for Christmas celebration all other IT departments recieved goodies and sweets box, even the manager of service desk received goodies, but service desk employees or team members did not recieve anything, which according to me is a unfair, inequality and way to demotivate the employees. Salary amount differs from month to month, example you receive 33k this month,next month you will 36k, again next up coming month 32k, no proper calculation, don't know on what basis salary amount is deducted .

Cognizant has its challenges as a workplace. While there are learning opportunities, the work environment and work-life balance heavily depend on the project, which can make the experience unpredictable. Overall, it’s not the most rewarding place to work.

The salary is low, promotions take forever, and the work culture isn’t great. It really depends on the project, but overall, it’s not the best experience.
