      Worst Graduate program

      Pros

      I really cannot think of anything.

      Cons

      They are just solely hiring to meet the local quota so that they can bring in more people from other countries. No AWS ( claims that AWS is added to our pay). Poor compensation - Bonus is terrible for industry standards. They cut cost by limiting paper cups in the office (absurd) No intention to train and help graduates. Conflict between existing culture and the Grads as those on EP assume that grads are going steal their jobs. Only talk from senior management that they are committed to grooming talent locally. No projects as graduates can spend up to 6-9 months on the bench waiting for something. Says that their competitors are Accenture, big 4 but nowhere near to that standard in terms of compensation and learning oppurtunities.

      Pros

      Nil. Not Recommended to enter Graduate Program

      Cons

      - The HR do not consider your career aspirations. - Promised a training, but some people get pulled out of training to fit their client needs when there are so many people still on bench? Why never utilize the resources on bench? - Projects for graduates are bad - Create activities for everyone, but really the one enjoying the workplace and participating for these activities are the corporate team. Take a look at the pictures posted by the corporate team. Seems that only their faces appear on every event...While the rest barely enjoy their projects that is forcefully allocated to them. - Poor bonus

      Pros

      Have very good company health insurance.

      Cons

      -HR lacks transparency when hiring. Job scope is completely different as per described by HR. -Lower salary despite being hired earlier into Cognizant compared to other new hire. -Only 10 days of leave. -Long working hours which does not justify salary given. -Bonus is very little as well
