...he organisation enjoying the perks. Most junior people are protected the most. Another positive is everyone gets the same percentage of salary hike as per the Rating.

Dislikes

Promotions are restricted to Kolkata or Chennai people mainly, other city people have less preference as the seniors sit there. Same while giving important projects. I was told by another existing person when I joined but after 3 yrs, realising the same unfortunately. Politics is v v high. They just want to meet the numbers, even if you manipulate or twist things, it's ok as there are no reviews. They just want to tick the boxes for the heck of it. Also, very old people..like dead wood not having visibility and understanding of what to do and get done. No industry scenario as they are frogs in a well. No one from non-Kolkata join here as it would be no learnings and no progression, no work scenarios here.

Cognizant has less variable pay and also tax saving options are more. Projects other than BFS domain have good work life balance. Cognizant has udemy license (till 2022) so learning can be done in free time. Health insurance covers parents as well (upto 3 lac)

Dislikes

Most projects in BFS domain do not have work life balance and also technologies they work in are old so you will have to spend more time in troubleshooting than coding. HRs are puppet of managers in Cognizant. Senior management in Cognizant is diplomatic and are unable to show integrity and this the reason of 33% attrition rate from last 3 quarters. Compensation hikes are stretched for 2 quarters every year.
