...Years i got one ball pen and dry-fruits. No words to say, hope you understand 4. Salary - Cognizant incentives are always better. Incentive is part of CTC but you will get 100% upto first two buckets.

Dislikes

In India, Job security is one of major factor every employee considers as high priority. I have seen during Covid pandemic company has fired many people due to more days in bench or some other reasons. I am not sure what happened in recent years - lot of good working people left the organization.

MNC benefits.

Dislikes

...you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company.

Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.

Dislikes

Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.
