...ognizant in January 2020, So I cant comment how they support in this lockdown. they pay well.

Dislikes

leave policy like half day sick leave in a month. Who can guarantee that they person will be having health issue only for half day. what if it happens in the first month of joining. Should he/she get cured with in 4 hours and continue to work?

Likes

Very bad compensation also they sometimes keep someone idle for months before deploying in project hence growth is slow

Dislikes

Very difficult to reach out as the organisational hierarchy is so long even finding an HR after joining becomes difficult, low pay

Likes

Nothing as such.

Dislikes

They usually find ways to eat employees variable pay. Official working hours is 10.Rating system is pathetic.Some guy is sitting in either Bangalore or Chennai will decide your appraisal and rating who has no idea about employees skill and working domain. One can check working force attrition rate.

Likes

All benefits are standard and all service companies give that. One good point is that you get more in hand salary as compared to other companies. No hidden components to CTC.

Dislikes

...n 2018. HR were asking employees to quit if you are on bench more than 2 months. Salary hike and promotions were minimal

It's a wonderful journey that given me the opportunity to enhance my expertise on the my core Network R&S platform. By keeping on progressive mindset & building on latest SDWAN and other cloud platforms as I feel still learning on learning phase, meeting on client expectations.

Dislikes

Slow growth and salary hike preferably.
