    Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.

    Dislikes

    Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.

    If the client is good, Cognizant is good. They offered good salary when hired and when promoted. Udemy and Coursera access for free. Even if we get no work for a month or more, they hold you in the project before releasing you to bench.

    When the client is bad, so is Cognizant. Getting release from your manager is tough. All the above factors depends on the clients employees get.
