Cognizant is more concentrated what I thought prior to my joining, it's really having a very good culture and work environment for fresher and lateral resources. In terms of career growth it is the ultimate organisation to look forward for an SAP employee specifically. Also it is having some good projects to work on. S4 HANA projects are there but greenfield implementation do not have as of now.Overall it is good....Read More

Should look into more S4 Hana implementation projects and onsite opportunities for India employees.

To begin with, there is 10 hours shift wherein in the offer 9 hours is mentioned. Without proper training, they expect a new joiner to learn every single thing. Loads of politics and backstabbing from the management. No work transparency No support for the new joiners, they have to figure out everything on their own.. especially when you relocate

Job security is still there in cognizant unlike other companies. IJM helps to get promotion on time only if you are eligible and having capabilities.

Dislikes

Starting Covid, work life balance is missing in life and the annual appraisal is so pathetic that it won't reflect in your increased salary. But the worst thing which I felt in my whole cognizant career is that there is no policy to adjust the salary as per IT standard if you have joined with low salary scale in BPO that too withoutyour knowledge (because HR won't tell you which SO will be used for your joining but your salary structure will be based on that)....Read More
