Dislikes

...won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently

For Freshers: Low Pay, No relocation assistance, No perks and benefits, No Transparency in project allocation, no option to choose technology of choice for training. Generally Speaking: The standard working hours are 9 hours (excluding the lunch break), which already is more than the industry but even then you are expected to work 14+ hours a day in name of "flexibility". I worked 9:00 AM to 10:30PM for 3 continuous weeks. The Europe/UK offices dont work a second over 8 hours but Indians are expected to work more with less compensation. Supposed to be working in Indian time and be available in US time too.

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.
