Despite the fact that cognizant is not directly involved, the management team is the worst because I had a bad rating once and spoke with my HR about it. She said that it was illogical to claim to be able to speak Hindi, and they do not care about employees. While some employees are excellent, favoritism is a non-issue in the Kolkata office. I will not receive any better senior support that would help me start from scratch.

I appreciate my time at the company and the collaborative environment we have. However, I would like to express that the lack of promotions and salary increases has been a concern for me. It can be discouraging when hard work doesn't seem to be recognized through career advancement or financial rewards.
