Work life balance depends on the Team and project. No Promotions and no salary hikes. Micro management in some projects. No onsite offers. Politics in some of the projects.No learning growth.

Programmer (Former Employee) - Kolkata, West Bengal - February 2, 2023

Learning opportunities are plenty. Managers are very professional and helping. Technical Leads are well versed in technologies. The best part about this company are the colleagues. I had a lot of help from my seniors. Oh and they don't have any bond so that's a huge plus

Pros

No bond, good work culture

Less salary

Cons

No work life balance

Amazing ambience to work with friendly colleagues

Spanish Language Expert (Current Employee) - Kolkata, West Bengal - January 16, 2023

It has been 5 long term in Cognizant. The highlight being the COVID-19🦠😷period when our Company added some additional benefits and medical help to see through the horrid time. So if I look back the journey had been fair with occasional hiccups.

Pros

Nice friendly atmosphere

Cons

Long hours

Waste of Time

Programmer Analyst (Former Employee) - Hyderabad - January 13, 2023

They will put freshers in a project where they only have to gaze monitor, even if you are capable enough to handle difficult task. You should not waste time.
