...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.

Likes

Work life balance. Hybrid work model Salary as there is very little variable component unlike other companies.

Dislikes

No promotions. I have seen people waiting 8 years to be promoted. No job security if you are on bench. No good projects in infrastructure domain for career growth. No skill development. No encouragement to develop cross domain skills. Last but not the least, too much of favouritism based on region and language you speak. Atleast it was in my case.

Likes

Salary credited on time. Two way cab. Large campus. Once in 6 months we use to go to trip to nearby places.

Dislikes

No work life balance. Constant pressure to meet targets. Worked overtime without any additional payment. Leads will put you on PIP if you don't meet the targets.
