Again, Cognizant mirrors the "profile" of the Indian-based Technology / Consulting firms. Although respected for their position in the market, ALL of these firms (Cognizant to some extended extremes) DO NOT embrace a non-Indian workforce and, concurrently, are not adaptable or tolerant to U.S. business & market environments. Thus a major churn in client relationships based principally on eventual "out-of-touch / Indian-only" perspectives of systemic & business solutions provided.

Cognizant allows specific individual agendas at the senior leadership level to work (in most cases, counter-productively) autonomously from the stated direction of the firm. This circumstance allows for churn among valued employee and client relationships that causes disruption in the workforce across cultural, work environment, and corporate boundaries.

Very collaborative as most are of the same personal culture.

As seems to be a pattern with Indian-based Technology / Consulting firms, the culture is based on two (2) major factors; one, that a preferred employee is of Indian descent and two, that the primary focus is to be "billable" rather than meet client satisfaction expectations and/or add value.

Low cost option. Work is often delivered late or more expensively. Better for staff augmentation. Trying to compete with Accenture and Deloitte but haven't gotten up to par. Ends up being a staff augmentation partner in projects with Accenture and Deloitte as the consulting partners.

Management is all Indian with their own agenda and culture that is not compatible with American culture. Bad compensation and no promotions

Their sales team over promises and do not understand what needs to been done to fulfill promises. Cognizant lies to the client and are not ethical. They off shore roles that need to be onsite to be successful. They expect team members to be spies on other contract teams to poach contracts. Cognizant does comply with client process and expectations; they only what they know. They do not understand how to communicate with USA workers and how to operate in the USA business world. They lied to me in my interview saying my role was firm for 5 years; it was dependent on Cognizant awarded another client contract after 6 months.

internal strife off shore vs on shore. Poor communication and lack of orientation by leadership puts too much burden on team leads that don't have time to do reporting and their regular duties. Meeting explaining reporting requirements of the client were being shared by leadership after 6 months on the contract.

ethics of the company and too many team members off shore impacting performance for client

Low cost outsourcing provider, using digital as an opportunity to put lipstick on a pig and call it a beauty queen.
