Cognizant Pune Reviews

Likes

Some managers are good but most are toxic.

Dislikes

Most things. From salary to no other benefits. Most people don't even have the qualities to become a manager yet they are leading teams. Work life balance is a joke, not because of the company itself but because of the managers here.

At a junior level, M and below, job security is extremely high. In past 3 years I didn't find organisation trying to fire people deliberately. In many cases poor performing people end up staying in the organisation enjoying the perks. Most junior people are protected the most. Another positive is everyone gets the same percentage of salary hike as per the Rating.

Dislikes

Promotions are restricted to Kolkata or Chennai people mainly, other city people have less preference as the seniors sit there. Same while giving important projects. I was told by another existing person when I joined but after 3 yrs, realising the same unfortunately. Politics is v v high. They just want to meet the numbers, evenif you manipulate or twist things, it's ok as there are no reviews. They just want to tick the boxes for the heck of it. Also, very old people..like dead wood not having visibility and understanding of what to do and get done. No industry scenario as they are frogs in a well. No one from non-Kolkata join here as it would be no learnings and no progression, no work scenarios here....Read More

Variety of portals available to learn and develop your skills. Company culture is good. Good company ethics and compliance.

Dislikes

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.
