it is exploitation. they treat u as labours. pay less than daily wage workers. make u work for 13 to 15 hours a day. no leaves ..no week offs .. every week end is a ED ( extra day)..literally no week offs .. forced OTs ... don't choose cognizant if u are not ready for this .....Work life balance is negative.

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.

The environment is pretty good and gets to learn new things.Also workload is manageable.

Dislikes

...curity. Silent layoffs are done in a disrespectful way including good employees. Very low salary for employees. And mainly doesn't settles your remaining amount after your resignation.
