There are lot of. 1. No proper lateral hiring. 2. For laterals also, they will be putting on some tool based support project. 3. No proper trainings. 4. Clients harassment. Especially Ameriprise Hyderabad. They don't have professionalism. They will literally speak bad words in telugu to Cognizant employes. 5. Management will not take any action.they are dumb. 6. HR will not take actions to any complaints. 7. Managers and team leads literally comment on women employees (sexual harassment) 8. Being a lady manager, she will not support lady employees. Instead of that , she supports other managers only. 9. Even Directors and associate directors behave very cheap.(commenting on lady employees) 10. Security and other infrastructure teams acts like they are CEO 's of the company. No respect given to associates. 11. Managers shouts loud in ODC with cheap standard mindset for no reason. Just for show off. Treat you as slave. Expect you to work 12 hours per day. No hikes or promotions. 12. More politics in Ameriprise. Please don't join this project. Managers mentality is very cheap. 14 client directors and client team leads will behave like road side worst fellows almost observing lady employees and commenting about their body structure. ( No other work ) 15. They expect you to work 12 hours per day. Simply smile and polite irrespective of their behaviour / treatment. 16. There is no job safety. 17. HR acts as a puppet to the managers. 18. No good projects. Most of them are support projects ( tools)

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
