After moving from Accenture to Cognizant, I feel that now I have proper work and life balance. I don't need to spend 7-8 hours on call a day. They hire ample resource for any project unlike Accenture where they take work of 3 resources from 1. I get time for my personal development.

Skill development - Good

...t ratings in Jan/Feb. You get hike in October which is applicable from December. I joined here in April, and it's been an year with no hike and I will have to wait till December for a salary hike (so almost 2 years) whereas there are companies who are giving salary hikes/market correction half yearly.

Management will not care about your problems. Salary is low compared to competitors. They'll change your project at September and for year end rating they'll simply say we haven't got chance to fully understand your capabilities as you've recently joined in the project. Every year this loop continues. No matter how hard you work or how many appreciations you get from client. "The more number of days you're in the same LOB, the more rating you'll get." (This is the excuse I've got when I questioned about the rating, despite having multiple client appreciations). This demotivates for sure!
