...rn everything. Leadership is passionate of new technology and client centricity. Pays competitive salary benefits may not be high at times but sustainable for long, rewarding association. Will recommend people to experience Cognizant.

Dislikes

If you remain too good on a domain, likely you will get trapped into it and not allowed to learn horizontal skills. So keeping a balance and relationship to horizontal people are important in any large project centric organization.

Work life balance Learning and development Salary and benefits (only incentives no bonus) Flexible work hour Hybrid

Dislikes

They are not giving promotion on time. No appraisal period sometimes they are giving hike on Apr and sometimes on Aug No job security No values to employees after resignation

Likes

Work culture, job security are two key elements to be cherished. Transparent compensation and payroll mechanism, lots of investment and tax savings avenues, great HR support specifically during health issues are big plus points

Dislikes

Disconnect between exec level vision and execution, leading to lack of transparency, political ambience and pathetic internal applications and red tapes are areas to be worked on by the Org

Likes

Entire organization is heavily ruled by lobbyists. Salary and grade offered by paranoid HR people will make you dejected. 90% projects are maintenance with night shifts and odd working hours and inhuman managers will ask for slogging. In Kolkata they have office in Bantala in leather complex which is as good as saja-e-kalapaani.

Dislikes

Bantala office. Horrible work environment.

Likes

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.

Dislikes

Promotions and appraisal are not process based, frequent change in salary increament schedule are changed and also arrear are not paid for 3months.
