Cognizant is one of the leading IT service providers and is one of Indias largest it service companies. It is a leader in it services and consulting Working here will not only expose me to various new technologies but will also give me an opportunity to work with global clients. It will help me build my career and make me a better IT professional
Cognizant is going to be most torturing company in coming future and it is going to collapse ther is a bond of two years before which you cannot resign
The job is quite interesting struggle a bit in the beginning as there was no formal training session

Auto Promotion seems to be a good thing however, I didn't get it as I am completely 2 years with organization
No HR representative transperancy to contact, I thought that every employee tries to avoid the risk from doing the task

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Cognizant provides good CTC to candidates.
Extended working hours on almost daily basis. Sincere employees are overburdened with work while the insincere ones just enjoy. No time for self learning due to long working hours. Appraisal is based on office politics and not credibility.

Appraisal process is not good, too much expectation and no hike in return.

There are learning and development opportunities via udemy and internal platforms but the team management doesn't provide time to utilise the same.
This openion limited to Staff Augmentation vertical - 10 hrs work culture takes 12 hrs to satisfy the unrealistic expectations and poorly managed processes. Too many unfair and biased approach by almost all TLs TMs and SDMs. If you are an outsider for positions beyond SPE you wouldn't be welcomed and treated well, tenured and competitors in the org will sabotage your growth.

Nothing much to like here

I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

No promotion for more than 2 yrs, manager citing dumb reasons like he got low rating so take yours low as well. Asked to invent new things, create issue and solve them to show as achivement. Repeatative copy paste job, manager is dumb, higher management don't care anything abt employee.

Job security is very less whenever the current project gets completed & it'll be very much difficult to find the opportunity that matches to the skill requirement and skill development will be at risk for the new joiners and middle level associates
