Pros
Salary. But then they don't give variable pay or hike. Free Drop in Mumbai after 8:30pm.
Cons
Where do I even start. 1) Cognizant leads from USA behave like Mafia bosses. They don't care whether work is there or not, they want you slogging like a mad person, if there is no business requirement left to do they will make you do extra things, just to show TIAA USA how excellent they are. All this to get Permanent employment offer from TIAA USA while exploiting employees in India. 2) USA guys come to office at 9am and leave by 5pm. But they expect Indians to work from 11am to 9:30 pm from office and then upto 1am from home. Because someone has to adjust. ( No pay is given for overtime, as it is 'expected' from us Indians ). Very difficult to adjust if you are a working woman. 3) TIAA India hires based on gender. No skills, no experience, no talent, just the Female gender is a requirement while applying here. There are 62% Females and 38% Males and yet the organization says we must employ more women. Women are given first preference when it comes to promotion all in the name of 'diversity'. Wait what? I feel insulted as a woman. This is not feminism. Also women are 'expected' to work late and go home and work again for the 'betterment' of the organization. 4) Old 20 year old technologies. Career growth is 0 . Boring dull work, management that threatens employees, Cognizant leads that make Indians work overtime just so they(leads) can get permanent job offer in USA, micromanagement of timings, strict dress code, old outdated technologies, terrible timings, no overtime money, no work from home(unless it's overtime work), I left in probation period (3 months ). It's that terrible of an organization. Please do not join this place, it is mentally disturbing the way they treat their employees.
