Cognizant is the most unprofessioanl company I have ever gave interview to.
I have over 6 years of experience in IT industry.

I was selected in the interview after two rounds of interview with them
The second round was with the delivery manager and he was so impressed with me that he wanted my HR round to be completed immediately.
On the same day HR called me and asked me to send all the joining related...

corruption has become rampant everywhere , and pvt MNC companies, which are thought to be very transparent

and clean in their operation, have also come under the grasp of corruption.

People are devising unique ways to cheat the system. Here is one example. TCS (Tata consultancy Services)

conducts recruitment (offcampus/oncampus), and selects lots of candidates every year. Some of the people in

recruitment panel have built nexus with other institute. They are asking candidates to do a course in a

particular institute. The course fee for the course comes around 60 K - 1 lakh. They are threatening that if

they don't do the course he/she(the candidate) will not be selected. These recruiters(panel members) have

agreement with the institutes. They divide the money among themselves. This way it's a win-win situation for

the institute as well as the recruitment panel member. But, in this process, poor families/ poor

students/candidate suffer. Also, for the company it's a loss as it may be losing deserving candidates who

are not selected because they refuse to do the course.

This is not limited to TCS only but to number of very large MNCs operating in india also.

I wish the companies take action on these corrupt people.

You must be a educated .

Do you know how these companies operate or function. Do you know what is the business model for these companies.

You must have burnt your hand by paying for backdoor entry.

Cognizant HR's are not giving my Experience letter,Revival letter and my PF .I am contacting these people on daily basis,but they are ignoring.Due to which I am not able to move to another job. Shivangi Gupta

            During the recession hit period, Cognizant had a good time by foreseeing things. but there was no good done to the employees who worked hard for that.
            Salaries for the associates are not hiked last stating the reason of recession when enquired about this year the statement was 'can't comment on the exact percentage of hike and how the hike would be' but now as all would be knowing cognizant is recruiting like anything and providing unbeliveable hikes to the lateral entrants.
            No justice is being done to the employees who have sticked to this company.

            hope something better would work out.

            Hey Karuna,

            I agree with you as I too am emplyee of Cognizant and on the verge of dissatisfaction...
            I agree with you. They dont treat the employee properly. They pay good for laterals but there is no reward for the one who works for cognizant with the spirit. But we should not lose the spirit. lets give our best and lets see when we will get reward for it.

                  Sir,

                  Ref: Your Vehicle number KA01FA 613, Rout No. 271D, - Driver Mahantesh - ID No. 15533
                  Sub: Rash driving with high speed & damaged my car.

                  This complaint is against your driver who drove rashly and damaged my vehicle on 19.11.2009 at 9.45 AM near MES Road, Muthyalnagar. Let me explain in detail.

                  I was driving my vehile to go to office on MES raod, Muthyalnagar and waiting before entering into Outer ring road to clear the traffic. As you are aware that we can not enter suddenly as we have to wait to clear the traffic. The above said bus was driving very rashly and took immediate left turn without seeing my vechicle which was wating for traffic clearance.The back side of your vehicle completely damaged my car on the left side and running without stopping.

                  Afterwards, when i reached Jalahalli village bus stop, your driver was behaving as if nothing has happened. He was behaving very rudely on top of damaging my vehicle.

                  We did not trouble the public and went straight to BEL police station to lodge a complaint.They have informed me to lodge a complaint at YPR traffic police sation.

                  Ypr traffic police also started talking that i need to park infront of police staion and any further damages or parts stolen for which they are not responsible. I was bit scared their approach & finally asked them what i should do. Accordingly, my general complaint has been accepted and gave the acknowledgement. The inspector has come along with me to the spot where acceident happened. finally nothing has happened but for waste of time.

                  Today when i went to police station, they have told me that they have collected fine of Rs. 500/- and close the case.

                  Now I have to pay around Rs. 6,000/- as differential amount after claiming insurance.

                  Request you to cancel your said driver license or take sevior punishment so that the driver will be careful henceforth.

                  Pl. do reply immediately about action taken on both Driver and conductor.

                  Regards

                        I know a guy who works in Cognizant, he joins this concern last april'08, by producing fake experience certificate.

                        Now he was sent Abroad regarding business tour. Is it fair? Employees like him should be punished

                        severely.Will the CTS take severe action?

                        Complaint marked as Resolved 
                        I opened a Trading account with UNICON with Rs 30, 000 when share market was
                        on its high. I purchased some shares of Parsvnath and RPL.
                        When Market was crashed, this value come down to Rs 6000 to 7000. Few
                        months back, I requested my Relationship Manager to advise
                        how to recover my principle amount from this point. He suggested me that he
                        would purchase some shares on behalf of me and I only need to give the
                        confirmation to Unicon. I agreed and started giving confirmation for all
                        the transactions made by My relationship Manager.

                        Upto this point, I have no problem.

                        After few days, these confirmation calls were stopped. I thought that I
                        have recovered from my big loss.

                        Then, I tried to contact my relationship manager, but he never picked up my
                        phone.

                        Then I called to Unicon office to confirm, he told me that there is Zero
                        share balance showing in my trading account.

                        I was shocked and continuously tried to contact to my RM Vikas Rastogi, But
                        always got the same answer that He is out of office.

                        Fortunately, One day he picked my phone unknowingly and he had to explain
                        me that he invested my money in Stock Loss kind of thing and lost my money.

                        I still don't know what is Stock Loss, but I am sure this is a kind of
                        betting or gambling.

                        I only allowed him to purchase shares on behalf of me, and never allowed
                        him to gamble with my money.

                        Now, the current situation is I have lost my 29000 out of 30000.

                        I just want to trasfer my shares to my account before the game of Stock
                        Loss was palyed by your Relationship Manager.
                        They will never know about it...Managers are big damagers in cognizant...
