For a fresher as well an experienced person cognizant is offering competitive salary (I am talking about the Kolkata region). Another good thing is they provide free udemy access so we can upskill ourselves.

Dislikes

The biggest disadvantage specially the project in which I am working is the work pressure and the 10 hour shift is also very challenging as I was doing 9.5 hours shift in my previous company. The project in which I am working is fully work from Office even though cognizant sent a mail that it will be hybrid.

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.

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.
