Pros

Good infrastructure Washrooms were clean. (Some branches) Get paychecks every month.

Cons

There are lot of. 1. No proper lateral hiring. 2. For laterals also, they will be putting on some tool based support project. 3. No proper trainings. 4. Clients harassment. Especially Ameriprise Hyderabad. They don't have professionalism. They will literally speak bad words in telugu to Cognizant employes. 5. Management will not take any action.they are dumb. 6. HR will not take actions to any complaints. 7. Managers and team leads literally comment on women employees (sexual harassment) 8. Being a lady manager, she will not support lady employees. Instead of that , she supports other managers only. 9. Even Directors and associate directors behave very cheap.(commenting on lady employees) 10. Security and other infrastructure teams acts like they are CEO 's of the company. No respect given to associates. 11. Managers shouts loud in ODC with cheap standard mindset for no reason. Just for show off. Treat you as slave. Expect you to work 12 hours per day. No hikes or promotions. 12. More politics in Ameriprise. Please don't join this project. Managers mentality is very cheap. 14 client directors and client team leads will behave like road side worst fellows almost observing lady employees and commenting about their body structure. ( No other work ) 15. They expect you to work 12 hours per day. Simply smile and polite irrespective of their behaviour / treatment. 16. There is no job safety. 17. HR acts as a puppet to the managers. 18. No good projects. Most of them are support projects ( tools)

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
