...ognizant in January 2020, So I cant comment how they support in this lockdown. they pay well.

Dislikes

leave policy like half day sick leave in a month. Who can guarantee that they person will be having health issue only for half day. what if it happens in the first month of joining. Should he/she get cured with in 4 hours and continue to work?

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.
