Overall the culture is very competitive. People undercut each other. More work for less pay is expected. People don't tend to make friends easily and there is no mentorship at all. Nobody prioritizes career development so promotions are largely a popularity contest. Women are often treated condescendingly and patronizingly.

This is not a strategic consulting firm. It uses the premises of consulting to sell its BPO and Package delivery solutions

This is at its core a business Process Outsourcing and package implementation organization that use an off shore (India) work force to supply low cost of delivery

Despite its best marketing efforts Cognizant is not a true consulting organization. It is and will remain a low end body shop

Although cognizant is a great place to work but some of the project require 14-16 hours of daily work load. I was stuck in one of such project in Irving Texas . Client is was of the major health insurance /pharmacy . Cognizant managers mandate everyone to work 12-14 hours 7 days a week.(yes including weekend) during welcome season. Worst part was here and fire policy once project was over. CTS in general is great place but some of the projects are not worth joining.

They have genuine concern for the welfare of their employees, especially during a time of natural crisis.

Zero work life balance. They give you very little vacation and it's difficult to use it. Despite their practice of using first names, the firm is very hierarchical. It's a terrible place to work for women. Most of the higher tanks are men who, due partly to cultural norms, treat women condescendingly and patronizingly. Zero support for career development beyond basic online classes in an outdated and glitchy system. No on the job training. Despite saying you're hired for strategy and management consulting, most people end up doing BA work like project management, staff augmentation, user story writing, etc. Interview process is disorganized and inconsistent. New employees get little to no onboarding. General lack of mentorship and career development. Have witnessed many ethically ambiguous actions. Strategy is to win projects on cost not merit, so chronically understaffed.
