Likes

Work in some verticals like Telecom, Media, Energy, Utilities, Manufacturing are good. You learn a lot of things

Dislikes

...ry few good people remain. Policies change at the whims and fancies of top mgmt. If you do work for any of the verticals above, forget about promotion or salary hike but you will learn lot of technical stuff. HR please do your work and spend time in understanding the problems.

Only the salary structure and benifits as compared to other companies

Dislikes

Zero job security. One day HR will told you come and give your resignation. We don't have project. And cognizant silently more 4000+ employee layoffs. Due bad management.

Salary on time. That's it

Dislikes

Internal politics, Never trust your manager. He or she can lie even after documenting it on email. Skip level will say, we have to follow policies. no one is trust worthy here.

Everything here is very systematic. For any kind of issue, you can raise a gsd and it would get resolved within 3 days. The process is well maintained.

Dislikes

Compensations are not at all satisfactory. Promotion and incentives are really disappointing.
