Good work-life balance - System Engineer Cognizant Employee Review

- Salaries are comparatively low for similar roles in other tech companies. - Career progression and salary increases can be challenging to achieve. - The implementation of Holacracy often contradicts its core principles of no formal management. In practice, you may find yourself reporting to multiple "managers" such as circle leads, project managers, account managers, senior teammates, HR, or your PSL. This creates unnecessary complexity and, at times, fosters a micromanagement culture. - The integration with Cognizant poses significant challenges. While Netcentric prides itself on being agile with a flat hierarchy, Cognizant operates with a bureaucratic and hierarchical structure, which often clashes with Netcentric’s core values and culture.
