Cognizant Technology Solutions Employee Reviews

Life at Cognizant depends on the project you are assigned in and your home manager. It can go from very bad to very good based on these factors. Changing domains very hard, next to impossible. Overall the company culture is good, some managers try to spoil it but if you know your rights and can speak out it life won't be bad

Rate your recent company

Share your experience to help others

Work for freshers will take longer duration but stay with developer teams for good scope.

Programmer Analyst (Former Employee) - Chennai, Tamil Nadu - June 4, 2023

I work as a DotNet developer, but in Cognizant I learned many technologies like Angular, SQL, Python and GCP. For a fresher if it is a good project stay with the company so you have a lot to gain in experience in various fields.

Lots of things to improve and settle on

Programmer Analyst (Former Employee) - Pune, Maharashtra - June 2, 2023

The only advantage of working at cognizant is that they have a good work life balance and that too only with a few projects. Otherwise 10 hours a day for work is totally unmatched in the industry.Rest all are serious disadvantages. Compensation and Promotion is totally based on office politics. Zero job security, as every third onths there's firing and the excuse is given that there's a recession or something when rest of the industry is doing absolutely fine. CEO keeps changing so there's no stability within the top management and lower management as well. So you're totally on the basis of luck you never know when what could happen. Job culture is again affected with politics and your whole career might crash all of a sudden. Suddenly you realise you've been working on this project day and night and you learnt absolutely nothing. Talking about good projects, they are a few and so few you could count them on fingertips. So if you get an absolute good project you can stay and learn but with a risk of job security. Otherwise I would advise to just leave. and search elsewhere.
