Likes

Cognizant offers good salary as per industry standards and you get good chance to work on latest technologies. Skill development and up-skill programs are good. You have 3 days work from office policy no pressure on maintaining minimum office hours. Good work life balance depends on role and project for me it’s manageable.

Dislikes

more ijp opportunities should be given. more on-site opportunities should be given. employee benefits should improve. Medical insurance amount should be increased with no copay option to support employees. 10 hour working hour policy should be removed.

It's just the brand name. We don't get anything in the name of benefits

Dislikes

Poor salary. No appraisal. Exploitation of employees. Lot of red flags in the management and work culture. Too much favouritism, extreme micro management. No worklife balance. No upskilling or understanding people's potential or appreciation of efforts.

Medical insurance and gratuity cut are top of your CTC. So you get more in hand salary.

Dislikes

Horrible work culture with no care to their employees. You will end up working 14-15 hours on a daily basis. Severe work pressure and your delivery manager will ask you directly to work on weekends workout feeling any sorry.

We have plenty of platform to learn new technologies and to get external certification. One can learn many new technologies and attend courses which company provides at free of cost

Dislikes

Salary hike is always very less. They don't do anything to standardise your salary as per marketing standards. One can join with good salary and work with the company. Don't expect much hike or standardization once join there.
