Cognizant IT & Information Security Department Salaries in Kolkata

Likes

Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.

Dislikes

Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.

Likes

It was giving decent salary and bonuses as well as promotions. But not anymore

Dislikes

No salary increment happened over a year and no official notice had been provided. Not much opportunity given to those who want to learn and grow. People seeking opportunity in a particular technology is not actively given a chance.

Very employee centric company, good pay and perfect for 1-3 years experience people to join. Personally Cognizant has given me a lot. Knowledge, Skills,Culture and helped me to grow

Dislikes

Not much that I have found. Some employees or managers might be little biased but thats completely project wise. Company wise I have no complains.

Salary and benefits are good.

Dislikes

If you've switched your job from a big and organized company like TCS or Accenture the first thing you'll notice is no proper training is available, hr or admin connect is zero, learning and development opportunities are terrible, you'll notice micromanagement like a call center, employee feedbacks are not accepted, no location preferences, managers act like your juniors and puppets of senior management, no appreciation.

Likes

Overall company culture is good. Job security is there. If you are able to complete your work on time then you can manage work life balance as well.

Dislikes

Yearly hike and promotion should be more logical and ethical. More eligible person needs to get promoted and get hike in there compensation. If company can a bit more employee centric then its gonna be a fabulous organisation to work with.
