Cognizant Senior Associate reviews

worst peoplemanagement, lot of politics, junl appraisal process, only relatives and friends gets promotions others has to suffer, yous hould be very close to your manager like his dog

Not a good company and will not provide you with growth opportunities. You will definitely not get a promotion if you are not engaged in at least 2 year long project under one manager. Even then you will get a promotion if you suck up to your manager a lot and you manager should be allocated a promotion for your designation (There are fixed number of promotion allocations to each manager based on revenue and growth prospects of the account he/she is handling). Basically your chances of promotion depend on the 1) length of time you work under 1 single manager 2) Growth of account (nothing to do with your hard work but, how well cognizant sells to the client) 3) Your relationship with your manager (which is important generally) 4) Location of your manager (If you and your manager are located at same client location it will boost your chances of promotion) 5) Number of promotions allocated to your manager at your designation level If you are not working for the same manager for 2 years and if both of you are not present in same location you will not get a promotion even if you are a genius and get appreciation mails from client daily for hard work and some unique solutions your provide to solve client's problems.
