The work is so pathetic that if you are smart and know how to play with the managers you can easily cut it down to 2-3 hours a day max.

Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

...er level compared to my experience level and I still think its very low level. The salary is also pathetic and if you are a slacker or a lateral hire with less than 2 years at cognizant its okay to work at. Other than that just leave it and aim higher.

Dislikes

I am really very sorry to say that compensation is not very decent. People joining late than me enjoying higher CTCs as well as financial growth is very slow. We also have to face partiality in year end appraisal just because someone work in development and I work on support. I think this should not be partial.

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.

Despite the fact that cognizant is not directly involved, the management team is the worst because I had a bad rating once and spoke with my HR about it. She said that it was illogical to claim to be able to speak Hindi, and they do not care about employees. While some employees are excellent, favoritism is a non-issue in the Kolkata office. I will not receive any better senior support that would help me start from scratch.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

...a result, you will be highly appreciated with a very bad rating and feedback. 5. salary is very low and there is no hike or promotion if you are not favourite candidate of your manager
