Internal support provided within Cognizant for career development is phenomenal. Also there is a very strong internal social platform for raising voice and concerns to highest level of management, and those are actually reviewed and answered.

...ittle of separation is available in. Hardly, you will find the role defined in. (2) Compensation: Financially, not to prudent to live over here. On the name of the financial anonymity in the world , there will be always paid lesser stating the business are not performing as per ‘expectations’ :p doesn’t matter however they earn. Say for example there has been a growth of 20% and even if the average growth across the other IT industries are 10%

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.

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.

They offer competitive salary package. That’s all.

Dislikes

There’s no job satisfaction or personal growth. Enough toxic people up there in the management. So don’t expect any support. It’s all about billing. Also you need to complete a ton of courses and most of them are irrelevant or obsolete, so it just eat your valuable time. Most of the time we have to spend our personal time to do all these since there will be project deadlines.
