Likes

Worst company, hell lot of discrimination between India and Manila. Management is worst and just care about how to loot money from client and warm their own pockets. No work life balance, worst of its kind.

Dislikes

Everything nothing good, they don't give you salary as what you do, no holiday, you need to work in india holiday and you need to work in US holiday as well. Management only do back hitching here. Don't ever join team under any philippians specially Joy Mendoza she is worst of her kind.

...nsfer, incentives etc. Where employee will claims money for their official work. Only leadership people are enjoying their life with greater salary package and their earnings. Current CEO is taking more pkg but gives very poor hike to employee like 1-2%. Market is poor for junior level employee but leadership are enjoying.

Dislikes

All of the above

The office culture and the environment to learn is the best part of working at Cognizant. The colleagues, specially peers, too are very accommodating and helpful and this applies to all the teams I worked for in Cognizant.

Dislikes

Very poor compensation and benefits policy. The promotion cycle is very shady and it invites politics. It should be made transparent.

I am getting salary is the only good thing here. Also, if you keep working as per your toxic manager without putting anything to change or any other demand. You can work here for a long.

Dislikes

Work-life balance is worst: As we do not get leaves even on the most auspicious festivals even if it is Holi, Diwali or any national festival. Skill development: Very unsatisfactory as we never came across any management who discusses such things. Wo don't even get time to complete the mandatory training. We only skip videos and use the answer that our management shares to pass the trainings. Company culture: There are some good managers and team leads out there but most of them doesn't seema to create a good culture. They only know how to spread toxicity and tourcher people. Even for one day leave or any emergency they behave like the clouds will come on the ground. Promotion: This doesn't happens generally with those who really work hard and giving their 100 percent The organisation and HR should connect individuals to know about such situations and take some hard decisions to fix them.

The night shift allowance, 6th day allowance is better than some other organizations.

Dislikes

Many things, toxic office politics, unpaid overtime, over-the-top cost-cutting practices, slow growth, biased ratings, code of conduct malpractice, biased regionalism, fraudulent HR practices etc.
