Likes

Cognizant offers good salary as per industry standards and you get good chance to work on latest technologies. Skill development and up-skill programs are good. You have 3 days work from office policy no pressure on maintaining minimum office hours. Good work life balance depends on role and project for me it’s manageable.

Dislikes

more ijp opportunities should be given. more on-site opportunities should be given. employee benefits should improve. Medical insurance amount should be increased with no copay option to support employees. 10 hour working hour policy should be removed.

It's just the brand name. We don't get anything in the name of benefits

Dislikes

Poor salary. No appraisal. Exploitation of employees. Lot of red flags in the management and work culture. Too much favouritism, extreme micro management. No worklife balance. No upskilling or understanding people's potential or appreciation of efforts.

Salary wise, once you received offer that time you can demand high.. later not much increment or promotion you will get here .. Good policy for maternity leave for female candidates but it's similar to other companies in competition I can say.

Dislikes

Company working hours is 10 and it goes upto 12/14 hours per day plus expectation is to work on weekends without additional benefits or comp offs. Overall no work life balance. Management almost in every project is like they will assign some work and will expect to complete by that day only.. If you can talk and revert to management you can survive well else you will only suffer in such company.. no appreciation even if you are doing so much of work, neither increment not good ratings.. terrible projects, management and company

Dislikes

No work life balance. Need to work as per your client timings. No manager interaction only client is your god. Multiple interview everytime project comes to end or any budget issue. You need to be technically sound and be ready for interview anytime. Not recommended for long term stay here.
