Dislikes

There’s nothing I dislike about the company, but just that I could not find growth in the project. Also the internal project movement (to change domain) was not that easy because of project requirements. As a fresher being in SD should do well, but then being a CSE graduate having to continue in the same position for 2+ years is what made me feel bad and discouraging. Infact, it was a very tough decision for me to leave a company like Cognizant.

...s, specially freshers. No flexibility to change profiles or projects internally. Salary was too low. Lot of politics within teams. I don’t anyone working who was happy. Best decision was to quit it. It was all about struggle.

They never let me change profile internally. HRs treat themselves as the big boses there and treat other employees like their servants.

Dislikes

Job security depends on situations. Few of my friends were in bench for more than 6 months, happily receiving salary without joining any project. While one of my friend was dismissed from cognizant because of not reporting to office during bench time. It all depends on the lead., my last project lead is a good man but a bad lead, he is new to cognizant as well. He doesn't even hear your suggestions and made me lose 3 months of night shift allowances worth 18,000

... working under them. 3. The leads are dominating agents reporting under them. 4. Shift allowance will not credit properly along with your salary. 5. If any leads friend or family members are in bench they will hire them to their project and do nothing beneficial for the project and after very few months, leads will send those relatives to better projects. 6. Too much of favouritism and partiality. 7. People around the leads are get glorified every moment. 8. Most of the people either old or new employee, none knows the major company policies atleast. 9. Even if you reach out to HR team, they will redirect again to your project manager who do not know the complete policies and this circle keeps circling without any resolution. 10. One of the poi are at work culture every seen or heard in life.

Dislikes

If you've switched your job from a big and organized company like TCS or Accenture the first thing you'll notice is no proper training is available, hr or admin connect is zero, learning and development opportunities are terrible, you'll notice micromanagement like a call center, employee feedbacks are not accepted, no location preferences, managers act like your juniors and puppets of senior management, no appreciation.
