Cognizant Complaints & Reviews

Worst HR experience ever. Most unethical professionals I have met.
I received call regarding job opportunity from cognizant. I was asked how much of offer I am holding and what are my expectations. Then I told them everything and we agreed on some compensation(more than the offer I was holding).
After that, they scheduled the interview. It was cleared and they asked for documents along with the previous offer letter I was holding. I provided them those documents, after that they gave me an offer much lesser than the compensation we already agreed on (from a much better company according to people's reviews and general view of the company overall). I asked them if there is some mistake as they sent me an offer even lesser than the my previous offer ( which offer letter I sent to them too ) . Then they again asked for that offer letter. I sent them again. Then after that they said we cannot provide over what we are already offering. I said then why did you agree previously, on which they said previously we had that range for this position but it is changed now. Simultaneously, I was being asked from another associate from a third party hiring company(who shortlisted my resume and gave it to cognizant in the first place) to accept the offer. Then I stated my reason to her for not accepting the offer. Then she also asked for my current offer letter and said she will try to get the things right . But nothing came from her too, but at least her behavior was good.
Then after finally saying no, again I started getting calls from them asking about my joining. then again I said no I am not joining and we have discussed it multiple times already and then again I was stating my reason. Then also I was not thinking about taking some action or complaining. But today I got a call from one person from Cognizant HR team asking the same thing again and I stated that I am not joining Cognizant and it is already discussed multiple times then she started digging like what is the reason ...is it compensation or I am not interested, things like that, Then I said yes I am not interested now and started telling about that issue (thinking she wanted to know ) then her tone changed saying 'ARE YOU INTERESTED OR NOT'.
I was saying something and she hung up the call. She crossed limits. First you make mistakes, you lie, you don't now how to treat people and after that instead of accepting the mistake and making sure it never happens again, you again misbehave with them whom you treated wrongly in the first place.

The process should be transparent atleast they should tell you if you are on hold, rejected .
Worst experience ever, Hr wont even pick your call or Reply to your email.

Please guys you will get wonderful opportunities out but wont go for Cognizant ..I doubt if the Hiring process is this much worse then ...

Hi Team,

I am waiting from 13th Aprilfor my offer letter after the HR has confirmed that they will release the offer letter in 2 days, but now it's been almost 30 days but still didn't get the offer letter. Atleast please confirm the status of the offer letter whether it will take time or it is in hold or if rejected. It is very unfair to keep already selected people to keep waiting these many days without any update regarding the status. It would be helpful if you could provide an update at the earliest.

Worst ever onboarding process of Cognizant.

My Name is Gayatri Sanjay Bhosale and I attended cognizant interview on 7th March 2022 and cleared it. Next had a Positive discussion with HR on 14th March 2022 regarding Package expectation n all, I was told that I would receive an update within next 7-10 working days. Just before 2 weeks HR called me informing team will call me regarding further update.
So far, no further communication received and unable to connect with HR over a call as well.

I expect at least some communication from the company side.

I have been called for an Interview on 9th April 2022 through online. On 12th April 2022 i have received a call from HR stating that i have been cleared technical interview and want to discuss regarding salary and joining time. After all the discussion he had confirmed that due to long weekend (local holidays 14 to 17th April 2022) will get offer letter by 21st April 2022. If i have not received offer letter within 21st April 2022, he asked...

Hi,

I have hired in January 2022 but I was been into this organization with another a payroll on 24th February 2022. But on the 2nd of March 2022 my login id has been blocked. I don't know the why it was been blocked.

I complained it too many officials but no one was taking care of it. Just as a reply they were some mails without proper content to understand. They were blaming that I have received a otp mail which was not taken care of me to reset the account. These all process took around for 56 days .They have terminated within 37 days after getting into the payroll. But they have informed me by still taking an 19 days extra time by putting some extra force to clear the issue.

Still I have not received a single penny from the February 2022 till the end date.

I feel very unfortunate to write this complaint as I am keenly looking forward to joining Cognizant even now. My first interview date was on 3rd March 2022, I had already submitted all the supporting documents as requested by my recruiter along with duly filled CIS form in the initial weeks since this would save time and effort later. I have cleared all the rounds and last spoke to the HR on 25th March regarding CTC but did not hear any confirmation since.

I do not wish to disclose any further information due to confidential reasons however I had been last told that due to internal delays my offer is still under processing.

It has been 3 weeks now and I have no clue what is happening nor when I can expect any confirmation.

Sincerely request the support staff to please expedite this matter as I see many more like myself facing this ordeal.

Hi Team
I'm experienced professional having experience of 6.5 years.
I have given 2 rounds of technical interview on 31st March &1st April and on 2nd April was asked to submit the CIS along with other documents. I had submitted all the documents and waited for 4-5 days but no response from HR.

I was trying to reach HR but he didn't respond neither on phone nor over the email.

Luckily one day (10th April) he picked up the call and said business approval is pending and it will be done in 2-3 days, I'm still waiting and he is not responding at all.

It's not fair at all that all the day employee to call hr and hr keeps ignoring.

I was very much sure to get offer later according to feedback received during technical discussion. I'm still waiting for the update and looking forward for positive response.
