Cognizant Reviews 12

My last contract just ended and my manager tried to transition me to cognizant. They first reached out to me asking my desire rate. They said they would negotiate a better rate. Later they said the budget from the client is low to work with. Then my manager told me she gave them green light to move forward meaning she paid them more. I asked will I get a higher rate. This woman asked to talk on the phone and during the call she asked for my rate (I later found out this is illegal in CA) I shared and then she said they couldnt go any higher. I later tried to ask her what was the reason she asked the rate. She said she didnt remember. I filed a DLSE complaint because I feel like I was being treated unfairly.

I was contractor at first now a FTE, highly organized workflows, supportive teams, and most important scope of growth. This is a great company to kick start your career.

I worked as a subcontractor through a vendor connected to Cognizant, and the experience was really frustrating. Even after completing the work, I had serious issues getting paid. Cognizant approved my timesheets but didn't take any responsibility when the payment got delayed for months. It felt like they only cared about keeping the client happy, not about supporting the people actually doing the work.

They collect and sell personal data with no rights to do so.

Exploiting loopholes in regulations and making life of general population worse, so they can make some money.

Kind of the opposite of what you would want.

One of the best companies i have worked in my career and great team. Like any organisation there are ups and downs. Everything is organized and super supportive teams.

Very bad company. They don't think about employee at all, but only money. Upper management is not supportive at all. If they could not get project, because of un-skilled sales team, they make employee redundant. Ridiculous culture. No value addition to employee, no training sponsorship for productivity improvement. HR department is more horrible,  they don't listen to employee at all. No redundancy compensation.

I had been working in Cognizant. They are very organized. I had a great experience with Cognizant.

I am working in CTC from last 7 years.
Its a great company and great working culture.

Nice company for all of call centres and a Higher Pay. All in All Google is the highest payout at all times and yet they have good trainings and free foods too. Usually, I am in Computershare Outbound, it is the easiest and it is really a good pay. All in all, it is perfect.
