Cognizant reviews

This is primarily a testing shop. Most companies see Cognizant as experienced testers regardless of your experience or background. The executives try to sell other services for Cognizant but are rarely successful due to the company's perception. Most employees in US are managers and above. Testers are frequently brought in from India

As a fresher , you will be posted in a technology in which they have a vacancy , not the one you want to work in. This is a BIG MINUS. The training quality is bad. No care is taken on the quality of training being given. Once you are put in a technology, it is not at all easy to change technology without compromising your career growth. Lots of office politics in the company. You dont get promotion when you deserve Or just because you worked hard and contributed a lot. The reason you will get promoted is - 1)by accident, 2)because you are good in buttering everyone, 3)you work more than a donkey and don't care about your health at all and do well in 10 roles at the same time. You will hardly have any personal time. Having said that , I should say there are certain projects where people hardly have work. If one disagrees with my comments, it means that he/she is either a workaholic or a person who is working in one of the rare normal-work projects.
