Initially there was WFH that was good ..other than that nothing much to appreciate - typical service company culture.
Hikes & promotions are bad. No clear communication from leadership especially from HR perspective. Even senior managers are not clear with policies & whom to connect for particular issue.

Nothing big
It is worst company in the compensation even the company making profit they were not distributing to employee only the top management is enjoying and if we asked they will tell its current industry trend, which is not acceptable at all and they were not promoting right employee and they promote only the people being yes boss type without any potential

Cognizant offers good salary as per industry standards and you get good chance to work on latest technologies. Skill development and up-skill programs are good. You have 3 days work from office policy no pressure on maintaining minimum office hours. Good work life balance depends on role and project for me it’s manageable.
more ijp opportunities should be given. more on-site opportunities should be given. employee benefits should improve. Medical insurance amount should be increased with no copay option to support employees. 10 hour working hour policy should be removed.

No much interference of line managers which lead us to manage everything on our own. Appraisals are pathetic must be leading to loose work interest, confidence and enthusiasm.

Cognizant has large number of client in various domains providing a lot of opportunities across the world. I have got an opprtunity to work at different locations and in diversified tools and technologies and various domains. It has helped me build a robust career and helped me grow along with the organization.
Frequently changing revision cycles, changing promotions process and cycles and very less salary hikes. Also for the veteran employees, salary standards are very low compard to the market standards

Dependent on project your work life balance is good.
Working hours you need to stay 10 hours in the office (9 AM to 7 PM). This year hike percentage is very very worst. Compared to previous year's hike percentage. Work life balance is dependent upon the project. Every weekend you need to login if you are in support project. 6 th day allowance is less. Rating is not straight forward. Always they will give preference to their state peoples.

**Title:** Unfair Treatment and Toxic Management in Medicare Healthcare I worked as a Senior Process Executive in the Medicare Healthcare project at Cognizant Technology Solutions, and my experience was nothing short of disappointing. The management treats employees like laborers rather than professionals. The environment is incredibly toxic, especially in the project I was involved in. The most troubling aspect was the blatant favouritism, political and unprofessional behavior from the management. The manager and his wife, who both work on the same project, would regularly take long breaks and leave the rest of us to handle back-to-back calls for nine hours straight without any opportunity for a proper break. While no one else was allowed to take a holiday or even a short break, they had the freedom to go out for coffee at Starbucks or attend parties during work hours. It’s disheartening to see how promotions and high ratings are given only to those who are in the good books of the management. If you’re friends with the manager, willing to lend your car for their personal use during shifts, or pay for their weekend alcohol, you’ll get ahead. The rest of us are treated like expendable resources. The 10-hour shifts are grueling, and the work environment is demoralizing. Management’s attitude is that they’re doing us a favor by employing us, rather than treating us with the respect we deserve as professionals. The final straw for me was the realization that management would cover for each other during any compliance issues, making it clear that there’s no accountability or fairness in this project. If you value your mental health and professional growth, I would strongly advise against working in this project at Cognizant. The management’s behavior is unprofessional, unethical, and entirely demotivating. --- Feel free to adjust any part of the review to better match your tone or add any additional details you think are necessary....Read More

Good company culture. Flexible work timings.
Growth will be slow unless you are popular among management and colleagues. There is favoritism and whether you have a good career or not depends on the project you choose. Mentality to please the customers is there everywhere and there is little importance given for individual growth.

In my first 2 years this company was great, but when a lead snatching all of his colleagues from previous organization to here to make some inner political barrier, then things start getting out of hand
Many thing No leaves, in TJX you have to work in national or client holiday no matter what happens Total politics, people who licking their feets will get promotion Always taunting & abusive in nature I got released from my project to just because I asked for leave for medical purpose

Work life balance is good. If you are looking for a stable job, this is a good place to work.
Cognizant was a great place to work at one time, now there is not much good projects. Not to mention the terrible career growth. Most projec6s are support and operations. You will hardly get any increment in spite of best performance rating.

All fine but this is depending on the client you are working for... I worked for 2 projects till now where the 1st one was overall good but the next one is disaster. .
The bench process and project allocation process is not good.. They auto allocate projects which is is. Not related to your domain, sometimes they lie in talent marketplace in designation . Big issue is 10hrs working a day

Variety of portals available to learn and develop your skills. Company culture is good. Good company ethics and compliance.
Many fresher candidates are on bench for more than 1.5 years from their onboarding. Freshers are not getting any project, no work. Cognizant not a good choice for freshers. Try other competitive companies and also check their track record for freshers. Appraisal cycle is delayed due to recession and budget. Promotion of many employees is getting postponed and delayed.

Work life balance. They have multiple clients and projects.
The appraisal process is not good. They are using the bell curve. That promotes mediocrity . They have multiple projects but they deploy you as per their convenience not as per your profile or preference.
