Cognizant reviews

Collaborative has ceased to be its own company and is now conforming to Cognizant, the parent company, in benefits, policies, practices, etc. Work culture is at a low ebb as Senior Leadership is expected to routinely deliver bad news from the parent company without notice, so both morale and trust are very low. Internal teams are being laid off and support is transitioning to Cognizant, with a full rebrand of the company name not too far off. If you are considering joining Collaborative, bear in mind that you are actually joining Cognizant, so if you don't want to work for a massive, bureaucratic multi-national, you would be best-served to look elsewhere.

I was at a company that was under 1000 people that was bought up by Softvision (which is part of Cognizant). Not only did Softvision have a horrible time integrating my former company into itself, Softvision isn't truly integrated with Cognizant. I went from a company where the CEO and most of the C-level folks knew everyone's name. In my case, the CEO and C-level folks knew me personally because of my roles in the company over time. At Cognizant Softvision I wouldn't even consider myself a cog in the machine, people like me are more like the grease between the cogs in the machine. And in many ways, that is the way it would have to be for a company with +300k people. Being told our reviews and raises are going to be delayed six months because Softvision is finally integrating with Cognizant.
