The first thing is the salary. Even though the science grads as well as the B.E grads are doing the same work, the science grads are not even getting half of what the B.E grads are getting.

The pay for Test Professionals were literally 1/3rd of what the PAT’s would get. We did the same job as them and we were underpaid. Wish this would change.

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.
