Cognizant is a harmful and poisonous organization that should be banned and dismantled.
How is it harmful and poisonous? How is It different from other Indian consulting firms?
The argument applies to all such organizations.
Didn’t know if all Indian consulting companies are like this.
If you don't like it, find a better job
It's trash. I interviewed with them years ago and they failed to show up to their own interviews FIVE times back when I was desperate. I've worked along side their "engineers". Management pressure them to make quick hacky apps that don't scale or have good code quality.
If that is the case then it must be because client did not want better code.
I marked as disagree because much of the management is passed on by the client and not the IT companies themselves. If companies like Cognizant are shitty the companies using its engineers are even shittier. A lot of micro management and reluctance to improved technology. All focus towards politics. The list (of client to these companies) even includes big names like Apple and Microsoft. I have worked for Apple for their IS&T org. Horrible group and yes sadly it is due to Indian managers from Apple's side. 95% of Apple employees in the org from Apple's side were Indians. After a while I felt there was no diversity to keep micro management active. I switched out after 1 year of working with my client manager. PS - I am an Indian and it used make me frustrated working with such a bunch of people. Over the time I have realized diversity makes team and companies more balanced. Diversity of race, ethnicity as well as gender.
