Good Management

generally no hectic timings(although this depends on project)
easy to get onsite opportunities in 3 yrs fr freshers..
lot of fun/entertainment activities..

Cons

less salary, less bonus..
less knowledge and experience acquired..

-fair hike and best in the service industry package structure thru which you get maximum take home
-flexible work timings
-good onsite opportunities
-nice work culture where you get fair amount of freedom on various things
-various internal classroom training programs/online trainings

Cons

-since it is service oriented co. you get a chance to work on various technologies where you can not focus on one and be master of it..
-more weight on the development and deliveries rather processes which makes sometimes un-necessary pressure on the team..so still this co. needs some amount of time to get completely process oriented.

Advice to Senior Management

Having the fact that Cognizant is one of the fastest growing IT co. my advise is co. should start focus more into the processes also. Due to lack of processes, teams un-necessarily work under pressures and without overall transparency.

Pros

Hard work is rewarded.
Internal Communication is good
Energetic atmosphere
Good training facilities (Mandatory 40 hours per year)
Approachable Management
Onsite opportunities
Great CSR activities undertaken under Everest and Outreach programmes

Cons

Long working hours
Late night transport follows weird logic
Lower pay as compared to peers
Tamil is the medium of communication in most project/Team meetings

Advice to Senior Management

Invest more in the lower end employees(PA and PAT) who earn the bread and butter for the company. Pay should be on par with peers

Pros

Good work culture
Promotion system is not all about luring the manager. Has a good amount of dependency on your actual performance
Project specific regulations.

Cons

Management sometimes acts weird
Not much bench scenarios
Doesn't have a lot of appearance in North India. mostly spread in South (Chennai)
