Likes

In hand salary. Variable is less. Insane learning opportunities. Onsite opportunities although less still one would get depending on accounts

Dislikes

Appraisal cycle is like a dream. You will never know whether or not it will happen. Onsite opportunities are considerably lower. Medical benefits are not that great but still not that bad as well.

After moving from Accenture to Cognizant, I feel that now I have proper work and life balance. I don't need to spend 7-8 hours on call a day. They hire ample resource for any project unlike Accenture where they take work of 3 resources from 1. I get time for my personal development.

Dislikes

...t ratings in Jan/Feb. You get hike in October which is applicable from December. I joined here in April, and it's been an year with no hike and I will have to wait till December for a salary hike (so almost 2 years) whereas there are companies who are giving salary hikes/market correction half yearly.

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.

Dislikes

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
