Dislikes

Politics. Manager driven company. Manager decides your rating which will directly affect increment and bonus. Rating is not based on performance. It's purely how you are making your manager happy. Luckily I'm not a victim. Recently increment is not year basis. it's either in 1 and 1/2 year or in 1 and 1/4 year. Recently working hours changed. It's 10 hours per day(mandate).

As working here is quite good when your manager is cooperative. Though In previous two years work and manager both was good no complaints for them and i worked from home till now and everyone was cool.

Dislikes

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.

Hikes are very less when compare to other companies. Due to internal politics talented people efforts are recognised.
