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.
