My Maiden company.. Good to start off your career in IT.. Job security for a fresher for a maximum of 5yrs can be assured for a moderate performer

Dislikes

Mostly Promotions, hike and mainly salary to freshers should match with current industry standards.

Salary is good for freshers.

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 .

I was intern in cognizant from jan to may and even after WFH they have given the salary. My friends who are not in the cognizant,they were not given salary. Team members and manager are co-operative.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.

Dislikes

Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.

I have been learning new technologies since day one, so learning is never stopped for me after joining cognizant

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
