Cognizant Technical Lead Salaries in Pune

Likes

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.

Dislikes

1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings or lunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management

Likes

Salary structure and hybrid working model.

Dislikes

No work life balance there, Senior Managers and management unable to handle customer and they create lot of pressure on developers to complete any task within 1 to 2 hours whether it is complex or simple
