Cognizant reviews

Management is full people who have been promoted to their level of incompetency. The culture is absolutely toxic. Management raising voices and talking down to others during meetings, rampant nepotism, zero care for any employees other than checking diversity and inclusion checkboxes. The majority of the workforce is in India and the company only cares about low quality, cheap labor. Professionalism is non-existent for the most part. They also have a stack ranked merit system for annual reviews, which is absolute cancer and proves they don't care about attracting and retaining good talent. I've watched Cognizant acquire companies, promise opportunity, then dismantle them and put everyone out of a job. With 300k employees, you are just a single spend line in a budget sheet. Nothing more, nothing les. Find somewhere else, literally anywhere else to work.

No solid control in the organization by top management. Everyone is boss in their own area. High level of politics if you need an accelerated growth. No advance trainings in areas of digital, automation, cloud, etc but ceo only talks about digital in his every mail and videos. Purely, a staffing company. Real cts you will know if you work onsite for a long time.
