I had joined cognizant a very long time before in 2006 and that time cognizant used to provided lots of facilities like free/subsidized canteen food, Free bus facilities, 100% + variable bonus and Annual project/company parties But all these things do not exist any more.

Dislikes

...ion can starve for payments in-spite of consistent good performance and ratings. Designation decides your responsibilities of work but not you salary, inshort a person reporting to you might have more Or equivalent of your salary which makes the situation very embarrassing and demotivating for long term employees.

Management will not care about your problems. Salary is low compared to competitors. They'll change your project at September and for year end rating they'll simply say we haven't got chance to fully understand your capabilities as you've recently joined in the project. Every year this loop continues. No matter how hard you work or how many appreciations you get from client. "The more number of days you're in the same LOB, the more rating you'll get." (This is the excuse I've got when I questioned about the rating, despite having multiple client appreciations). This demotivates for sure!
