There is not much to like apart from my team and flexible working hours(this also varies from team to team). Thankfully I have a really good and supportive team who never are all really kind and helpful. They are the best!

Dislikes

...5LPA only to find out later I will start with 4LPA and only after 1 year will my salary be increased to 4.5LPA. While my colleagues in other companies went from 4.5 to 6-7LPA, I got what was supposed to be my initial income.

Poor work culture and no salary benifits as well as partiality if you are not Tamil. If you're not Tamil you're never going onsite or getting a good hike or even latest technologies projects. You can't choose what technology you wish to work on ever.

Perfect place to upskill yourself. As a fresher I learned a lot of things in the span of 2 years and still learning which I'm most happy about.

Dislikes

My only dislike about Cognizat is my salary. But for me, either you should learn or earn.. as long as I'm learning my CTC doesn't matter:)

... Salary hike is just for name sake.. No learning or growth as they make you work on the applications that have no scope outside. No HR connects to clear your queries. It's been 2 years here and it's weird that I don't know who's my HR, On questioned, they just give a lame answer like your manager is your HR. If you get into a project of different location especially Chennai based projects then there is no going back, they give you false hopes to give you preferred location and everyone here ends up resigning after 1 year of experience. They even change your base Location to Chennai.

Dislikes

Same as above all the concerns and they are never addressed.

Work-life balance is good. Salary should have been more. It's quite difficult to survive in metropolitan cities with such salary as everything is getting costlier these days. Work environment is pleasing and behaviour of manager is polite and helpful.
