Current Employee – been working at Cognizant Technology Solutions full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great place to learn, good training and exposure to lot of process. work and personal life balance can be maintained but it depends on the kind of project.
Cons – Company profit is never pass down to the employees. only very few employees get good hike.. that would be marketed as if the performance incentive is given all the employees.
Appraisal system is very bad only the one close to manager get good hike even if they are not fit for that.and also there is quota for each rating i.e .even resources are good based on quota some should be given bad rating by manager.
Advice to Senior Management – Please change the appraisal system and remove the quota based system. Also pass on the company profit to employees instead of planning in future investment to avoid situation like Infosys.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
