Hi there,

My pf number is tn/mas/31309/310465 and from last one year i'm chasing with the exit help desk for the same, they are asking to me to call on [protected] and closing the ticket. The thing is no one is responding on [protected], it's just waste of time. Really cognizant pf withdrawal is pathetic.
Is there any one who can help me in this.

    Hi,

    I attended an interview at cts hyderabad on 17-feb-2018 and cleared all the rounds. At the end hr informed me that i will receive my offer letter in a week but i haven't received yet. Meanwhile i received an email from cts talent acquisition to upload my photo in one of their portal. After that, i haven't received any updates. I am not sure if normally they would take almost a month to release the offer letter.

    Thanks,
    Anvesh. I

            Since year i am following with cognizant for updating my exit date in uan linked pf account there is no single response from pf team.

            Its only a 2 min job for employer but they are not responsible... I am not sure where should i complain about this.

            Should i give court notice to cognizant as they harassed me lot since i am not able to transfer or withdraw my money

            Why do you have such useless team there.

                Hello team,
                This is immanraja from hosur, tamilnadu. I have attended an interview on 2 dec 2017 at koit, salem. I got my offer letter on 18 dec 2017 and also i got date of join on 24 feb 2018 at cts, kolkata. I accepted the doj and done my on portal tasks too, but i am unable to complete the gratuity nomination form, actually i completed but it shows pending, i was waiting for the on boarding pass till at the last minute but unfortunately i am unable to get. Even though i attended the first day but they send me out due to on boarding pass and also they mentioned i didn't accept the doj. Lot of difficulties i have gone to kolkata from tamilnadu, they refused me to join on the date due to those issues, so i returned back to my native.

                  Sir/madam,
                  I am writing this regarding a fake employee recruited in your company cognizant, kolkata. His name was devineni kesava rao, s/o seshagiri rao.

                  He submitted fake resume with more then 3 years of experience. He ran away from united states on january 2017 to escape arrest in child molestation case. To conform this you can check his passport and travel history. From 2014 to 2017 he was in usa doing his masters in nyit, new york. Then how can he show 3 years of experience at hyderabad.

                  1) he don"t even have salary account in any bank.
                  2) he submitted fake payrolls.
                  3) even the skype interview given by him was prompt by some other person.
                  4) check is passport and travel history.
                  5) contact homeland security for criminal record.
                  I am doing this because we have been harassed by the new jersey police department & home land security, usa for providing accommodating to a criminal. We payed for all his sins.

                      I applied for a job as someone recommended me, i forwarded my cv to one of your recruitment officer but instead of him discussing the issue regarding his decision with me he went ahead and discussed all the details of my cv with the person that recommended me and clearly he is in breach of data protection.

                      I believe his name is syed ahmed and his email address is syed. [protected]@cognizant.com

                      However, i have written to him about this requesting for an apology as to the matter but he failed to respond.

                      To make it clear i am over 42 years old the individual that recommended me was 24 years old and is like a son to me.

                      Please treat this as official complaint

                        It's been 60 days from the day of interview but i didn't even get a call from your consultancy and cognizant team.

                        Could you please tell me how many days will it take or do i need to wait or do you have any concerns from my side.

                        Could you provide me the poc "anil" or any of the cognizant talent acquisition team contact number.

                        @consultancy:the consultancy has switched off their mobile phone and they are maintaining communication gap.

                          I have applied for issue of employement letter for my visa application. It has been more than 20days and i have not received any response from them despite of multiple reminders and reiteration about importance of deadline. This is not at all expected from an iso certified company like cognizant. I believe that last communication from hr team indicated the request is pending at previous supervisor. I believe she is reluctant to approve the letter.

                              Hello team,

                              I have attended interview at cognizant - hyderabad location on december 16, 2017 and got selected and i have been told i'll get a call within a week. However didn't get any calls and a month passed.

                              On january 22, 2018, i got a automatic trigger email from cognizant saying that i have successfully cleared all the rounds and i'll receive my offer letter and pre joining formalities shortly. However again a month passed and didn't get any mails / calls from them

                              I don't know what is the meaning of 'shortly' in there sense. Pathetic experience. Don't know what is going in background. Please check and update me at the earliest.

                                  I was placed in cognizant through on campus placement in october 2016. I was waiting for my joining after completing my b. E. Degree from institute of engineering and technology, davv, indore. I was regularly mailing them about delay in joining. But in january i was informed that they have given me joining on 23rd of november 2017. And i didn't receive a single mail. I was receiving mails of offer letter but didn't receive any mail regarding joining letter. I was waiting for this offer letter from last 8 months. And now they said they will not give me joining without even contacting me directly. They were asked to send proof of the joining but no reply.
                                  Thank you,

                                  Updated by rgauri09                                   I received conference call from Cognizant in which there were 3 HR people in the conference. They called just to inform me that they will not reconsider my joining. They didn't even wanted to listen to my side of the story but wanted just to resolve the matter by saying that they are helpless in this matter.

                                  This is the first case of cognizant according to them that candidate didn’t receive the joining mail. According to them, they had revoked my account details from C2C on 29 Nov 2017 but I was able to login till 29 Jan 2018 which definitely proves that there must have been some error from Cognizant’s side. But they were just trying to close the matter saying nothing can be done now. They went on saying what they wanted to say without understanding me.

                                  Please reconsider the matter as It is about my future.

                                  It might be a small thing for your organisation but for me, it’s a turn in life which will decide the rest of my future.

                                  I am sure that I don’t hold any mistake regarding the issue that my offer letter wasn’t sent to me hence I’ll be willing to move to Consumer Forum in case something unjust is done with me.

                                  Hoping you would look into this matter with utmost transparency and priority keeping in mind that someone’s career and life is at stake.

                                  Best Regards,
