Foundations are weak, presentation layer is excellent - Program Manager Cognizant Employee Review

1. Vertical driven organization. Vertical teams rule withint he company. If you are part of a horizontal origanization, you play a second fiddle role. 2. They focus way too much on metrics, reporting, analysis, paralysis and so called quality. 3. They need to understand foundations of solid delivery teams are good talent, good training and good delivery processes. While they focus on measuring the delivery all the time, they do not focus on underlying root causes that need to be addressed. Extensive quality processes often not needed, takes up very valuable time away from operational resources and managers. 4.They are also not experts in any area unlike TCS, Wipro or Infosys. You cannot say Cognizant is the best in Mainframe or Business Intelligence or any particular area. 5. Work culture and timings are too much to handle.
