Pros

There are no pros to working for this company

Cons

-If you do not flirt with the OffShore Managers, you will NOT get a high score on your review -If you do not suck up to the OffShore Manager, you will NOT get a high score on your review. -If you do not accept what they tell you and do what they say, you will NOT get a high score on your review. -They expect you to work OT, without the OT pay -They expect the OnShore Team to cover the OffShore teams mistakes, but blame all mistakes on the OnShore Team -Upper Management was All men reporting to a woman, but they kept her out of the loop OR she just did not care. -The OffShore team was lazy -They hired people to fill the position without qualifications needed -If the OffShore team made a mistake the upper managers would pull them into a meeting for 2hours to go over every step and why they made the mistake - WASTE OF TIME -The OffShore MGRs would take all the positive feedbacks from client and share with the OffShore team when it was ALL the OnShore teams doing. -The company only gives you bonus' if they feel like -If do not start in the deparment during the time frame they see fit, they will not offer the bonus that year -Raises are scarce -Help is no where to be found from you management team or HR -HR Is useless -The 'bench' is a waste of time because you are placed in a category that has nothing to do with your skills and you cannot move up only down -The company is a joke, I do not know how they have high ratings -They say they care about their people, but there is no evidence OnShore.

Pros

here is nothing i can suggest to any one to join this organisation at experience level,Because these people play with employee career, if they found any failure during BGV check they will fire you immediate

Cons

I have joined as senior resource ,after 2 month of joining I got a call regarding my BGV verification that your previous employment did not verified ,You have 2 days to prove your employment else will fire you, At least the company should do BGV verification before joining ,after working in company for 2 month ,if you are giving this notice atleast you should give some timeline to find some other job for employee. And if a company has been shut down in the past around 3 year earlier ,then why employee should be punished ,its company fault

Pros

Not sure if its a good thing, but they offer permanent contract.

Cons

Cognizant assumed the Google Maps project from CPL and Manpower (another vendors). Basically they took ‘hell’ and they are managing to make it worse - yes, it is still getting worse, in a weekly basis. As soon as they assumed, they did some meetings promising a lot of good changes, speaking a lot of awesome things about them. It turned out they were not good guys at all. First thing they did was to cut out the food provided, decrease the amount of snacks. After that, they implemented their system, which is buggy and useless. They know its buggy but they said they won’t fix it and we have to get used to it. Now, they are already cracking the whip, pushing us to work harder and harder. Its now harder to get holidays approved, no paid sick days, no pension scheme, no benefits, nothing. Last, but not least, in the next months they will ‘review’ the bonus system, in other words, either cut it or decrease it.
