Cognizant reviews

-For a tech company you would expect to be using top notch systems, this is very much not the case. Everything about Cognizant feels incredible dated and behind the times. Every process from billing time, to requesting PTO to contacting IT support is SLOWWW and inefficient. -We give our clients advice that we as a company do not take ourselves and it is very disingenuous. -Culture is non-existent. Nothing more can be said about it. -There are no incentives to stay long term. It is very difficult to get promoted, and often promotions are given without a pay bump. Long term employees get the same, bare-minimum amount of PTO as new hires. -Do not work here unless you are looking for a job that will treat you like a data point, rather than a valued employee. Cognizant has no interest in retaining employees because they know they can replace you with a cheap, off-shore employee at any time.

Collaborative has ceased to be its own company and is now conforming to Cognizant, the parent company, in benefits, policies, practices, etc. Work culture is at a low ebb as Senior Leadership is expected to routinely deliver bad news from the parent company without notice, so both morale and trust are very low. Internal teams are being laid off and support is transitioning to Cognizant, with a full rebrand of the company name not too far off. If you are considering joining Collaborative, bear in mind that you are actually joining Cognizant, so if you don't want to work for a massive, bureaucratic multi-national, you would be best-served to look elsewhere.
