Cognizant Programmer Analyst salaries in Coimbatore

Likes

Simple and awesome, we get billing on projects for longer time due to which we get good visibility for our work. People are very helpful, good work-life balance except for critical project deadlines.

Dislikes

Salary and perks are very less in the market, IT Support services could’ve been better. We’ve to go through a process of raising tickets even to get simple hardware replacement. Apart from these I don’t find any negatives.

Work life balance were awesome, and it is really based on the project that we get allocated.

Dislikes

...I got recognized. But who were not recognized were in same position for 5 years. Joining as programmer analyst or lateral can get more salary and variable pay.

Depends on your home manager, some are really supportive. 5-6 hours required from office (depends on the project), rest can be done from home, udemy access, cloud certifications

Dislikes

Salary is too low, only ceo earns good money, exploiting freshers and playing with their careers. They don't have many projects, so most of the time people will be on bench. Promotions are delayed/cancelled based on their convenience citing reasons like utilization is less (common sense- it is less because the company has less projects). Promotions criteria are increased if you satisfy previous required criteria. Hikes are less than peanuts. Company culture is bad, no festival celebration nothing. Work-life balance depends on the project; if you have a project, then you're overloaded with work and if you don't, you're overloaded with stress as they can terminate you anyday. FEW OF THE LATERAL HIREES ARE PUT ON BENCH AND LATER TERMINATED AFTER 6 MONTHS. JOIN ONLY IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND CAREER.

Cognizant will not pay you well , Even if you are eligible for a better pay at the correct time they will release you from the project so that they don't have to promote you
