My experience was good because of my higher managers and teammates. The office culture is great regarding salary and bonus.

Dislikes

Our Manager's attitude and manipulation is not appreciated. Blame game gets you recognition and not hard work. They exploit you during peak season and professionalism is just a tool for managers. The team at Kolkata needs micromanagers and corporate game players not dedicated employees.

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.
