Joining Cognizant
Hi everyone, I’m considering an opportunity at Cognizant and would love to hear from current and former employees. What’s the salary growth like compared to industry standards? Any insights on learning opportunities and career progression? A few details regarding my profile: YOE- 6 | Tech- Mainframe | CCTC - 11 | Offered - 17.7 Getting a project in Cognizant is also not an issue for me as I used to work there and now, I'm going back to the same project. Would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance! #Cognizant #CareerAdvice #JobChange #ITIndustry #WorkLifeBalance #SalaryGrowth

Nothing to like. Terrible company.

  • Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

Apparently employees are not getting hikes and promotions because the CEO needs 170cr salary. The managers and HRs will never listen to you. My manager has not even once tried to contact me. Projects are so bad. Only support work.

Flexible working hours.

Dislikes

...O everything is CTS downfall started. Earlier we used to get hike twice a year. Now we’re working on same salary since last 1.5 years. Earlier we used to get minimum 7-8% hike in every appraisal. Now after 1.5 years we got only 3% hike in which top performers got 4.5% hikes. Ravi literally made CTS a joke. No Diwali gifts now. No free food in office. No cultural events celebrations.

Dislikes

For Freshers: Low Pay, No relocation assistance, No perks and benefits, No Transparency in project allocation, no option to choose technology of choice for training. Generally Speaking: The standard working hours are 9 hours (excluding the lunch break), which already is more than the industry but even then you are expected to work 14+ hours a day in name of "flexibility". I worked 9:00 AM to 10:30PM for 3 continuous weeks. The Europe/UK offices dont work a second over 8 hours but Indians are expected to work more with less compensation. Supposed to be working in Indian time and be available in US time too.
