Pros

Good infrastructure Washrooms were clean. (Some branches) Get paychecks every month.

Cons

There are lot of. 1. No proper lateral hiring. 2. For laterals also, they will be putting on some tool based support project. 3. No proper trainings. 4. Clients harassment. Especially Ameriprise Hyderabad. They don't have professionalism. They will literally speak bad words in telugu to Cognizant employes. 5. Management will not take any action.they are dumb. 6. HR will not take actions to any complaints. 7. Managers and team leads literally comment on women employees (sexual harassment) 8. Being a lady manager, she will not support lady employees. Instead of that , she supports other managers only. 9. Even Directors and associate directors behave very cheap.(commenting on lady employees) 10. Security and other infrastructure teams acts like they are CEO 's of the company. No respect given to associates. 11. Managers shouts loud in ODC with cheap standard mindset for no reason. Just for show off. Treat you as slave. Expect you to work 12 hours per day. No hikes or promotions. 12. More politics in Ameriprise. Please don't join this project. Managers mentality is very cheap. 14 client directors and client team leads will behave like road side worst fellows almost observing lady employees and commenting about their body structure. ( No other work ) 15. They expect you to work 12 hours per day. Simply smile and polite irrespective of their behaviour / treatment. 16. There is no job safety. 17. HR acts as a puppet to the managers. 18. No good projects. Most of them are support projects ( tools)

Pros

Good working culture, that is one reason I have been with Cognizant for more than 11+ years

Cons

Company is doing very good each quarter in terms of profit year after year, but still they do the minimal hike to employees. Other draw back thing is, their appraisal cycle sucks. Whatever you do or contribute, it behaves like Indian government reservation quota, so not all star performers will be rewarded, because you do not have quota for this year, will try next year :-)
