This review is written by Pradeep Kumar Mishra.
Brand Value: Yuppie I guess Cognizant as potential advantage in this. It maintains a good brand in India. But its low salary puts it on the other side of this brandL
Career growth and onsite opportunities? Career growth is not very fast. Normally anybody has to wait for 3 years for first promotion as Associate from Programmer Analyst. Onsite opportunities depend on the individual project. But overall I guess in Cognizant onsite opportunities are more than any of the other companies like TCS/Wipro/Infy etc
How is work environment and how efficient is the communication b/w teams or department? Work Environment is not so good. My personal experience is pathetic in this company. In Chennai maximum of the members would be Tamil (this is obvious), but onsite meeting in my team is also in Tamil. So for me the work environment is pathetic.
Communication b/w departments are fine and I appreciate this.
Work pressure/Work – life balance. Depends on project, but overall its fine.
Satisfaction with salary and quality of work. Very very very poor. A simple example is the pay package for 2006 pass outs and 2007 passouts.I am 2006 batch. Our Package was 2.11(includes 20K incentive). Our Juniors were offered 2.50(includes 20K incentive).And our revise package w.e.f May 2007 is 2.60(20K incentive).So we have only 10K annually salary diff from our juniors .At the same time the salary of Infy and TCS for 2006 batch is 2.75L Plus. Very bad quality of work overall.
What type of work they do: Product development, Services etc. Or if mix of these then what at percent? Mostly services.
Job security. 110% unless you are very poor performing (I don’t think anybody will be)
Some positives and negatives of the company. Not good if you want to develop your technical skills. Neither good in pay part. I don’t thing any positive part of this company.
Do you recommend your company to others? Yes or No and Why? A big No for friends. There are so many reasons which are already discussed.

one person from CTS his name is BALAJI SRINIVASAN( 116725 cog id) put his papaer bcos he didnt get promotions. But his higher officals convinced him by giving more incentive and promise to give promotion(SPM) in next cycle. Is this best way to get promotions. This way of getting promotions is very common in CTS Testing.
surely he will get promotion in next cycle. It was already happen to another person in CTS testing group name called GOPI
is this fair? Then how come other got promotions
Please share your commands

Cognizant spend considerable amount of money to hide women harassment cases within company that got escalated to level of CEO.
Cognizant management gives fake promises.
Couple of girls resigned to escape from lousy managers & corrupt HR.
Is this the true company culture?

What Pradip said, it’s perfect. In kolkata cognizant’s prespective work environment is good but pay package is low specially for 2006 passout batch. Project related techinal challanges are mostly relative. You might or might not get good work. But it is true for whole IT industry not for Cognizant alone. Job is very much secure. Cognizant is very good for experinced professional. If experinced then you will get handsome salary, frequent onsite opportunities which will compensate the sorrow of not getting good work.
