Cognizant Complaints & Reviews

Hi! I am an ex employee of Cognizant and applied for my PF 6 months back. I have tried to contact them several times and mailed to all possible PF/HR. Yesterday after 6 months they replied that my signature is missing and they have added new form which wasn't there with the previous attachment sent while leaving company. Now I need to start the process over again. Form 19 for EPF Form 10C for EPS Form 15G (2 original copies duly...

I have been to cognizant for an interview on 12th September 2015 at Bangmane tech park, Bangalore. i have cleared all the rounds of interview and i was told to leave for the day and HR will call me on coming Monday i.e 14th September. But as of now i have not got any response from their end. This same thing had happened to one of my very close friend also. Either they are wasting time of the candidate, or somebody somewhere is changing the details of the candidate from someone else. I strongly believe that the person who was handling all those forms is doing some kind of goo[censored]p. I don't know the name of the person, but i can recognize him from his face.Calling candidate for the interview, and wasting their entire day is really unethical and disgraceful from their part. I hope somebody in cognizant will read this and take the required step to correct this issue. If anyone is listening and can do anything about it can reach to me at "aditya.[protected]@gmail.com".

In a branch of cognizant in metukupam, located at premises of ASV suntech park the new job trainees suffer a lot with a high job time of 10.30 hrs a day with a weekly one day leave (Sunday). According to international labour law, workers are not supposed to be treated after 8hours under their dissatisfaction or if with their satisfaction they have to be paid with an extra wage for extra working time. Problems faced by them: 1.women: Women trainees leave the campus by 7.30pm and they face teasings and fear to walk in their streets as they reach their house or hostels around 9pm. 2.other fellows: Many people travel far to this office.some from 2 hours and even 3 hours.They face a lot of problems in transportation. Mainly women face a problem. Many girls working there are from siruseri and tambaram .They reach around 9-10 pm. 3.Stress: There's a psychological study proved that human brain can be active to a maximum of 8hrs .Then how to sit in a chair for 10.30hrs .It violates the nature of job. 4.Health issues: They suffer from Lumbago (low back pain), head aches, eyes itching and some girl problems with too much sitting irritation. Fear of trainees: As they are trainees they fear to approach their superiors that they ll be thrown out or locked by their failure in tests .They also fear to raise in gang or to write the issue to suggestion box. To the notice: If proper action not taken I would like to bring it to the notice of our honourable Chief minister Amma, J.Jeyalalitha in her web site "www.cmcell.tn.gov.in " as we all know she takes immediate action in public grievances. So I kindly request the authorities to take proper action on this issue which gonna save women from danger and make them realize there exists a law . Thank you

This is in regards to the BEST 122 which was intially follwing the route from Nerul and there used to be a stop at Vikhroli and Hirandani. Now since past 1 month, the bus has changed the rout creating ruckus and dissatisfaction among pasengers. Is the Govt only interested in profit. The bus used to be full earlier and now its half empty and people like us who used to get down at Vikhroli has catch an auto later. Will the Govt look intis and reduce the woes of public?????

She is leading hr and she is involved in all malpractices and playing careers of all life and she joined with many people and playing with people in name of money and even she is not correct person and i lost my life and job, because of her and some one punish her

On May 24th we went to a movie in PVR, elements mall Bangalore. When I gave my card for swiping, the cashier swiped and the money got deducted from my account, but he said the transaction failed then we have given Rs. 690 again and took the tickets. I checked with the bank people and got the statement that the amount was debited from my account by PVR. I have escalated this to the management, they asked me to provide all the statements and tickets which I have submitted, but still they didnt return the money. Every time they ask me to come tomorrow and day after tomorrow. I have sent a mail along with the bank statement to 'DM.[protected]@PVRCINEMAS.COM' and there is no response at all. I want to go to consumer forum. Please let me know if you can return the amount or not. Thanks Shiva Ramakrishna [protected] [protected]@yahoo.co.in

Hi, I left CTS in the month of May on 29th 2015. Till today i'm not yet received my last month salary. I have been following up with CTS and I have done with all the formalities with CTS. Till now i did nt get any mail or call from CTS, regarding my Salary, Re-leaving letter and Experience certificate. I would like to bring in to your notice, such that all the above mentioned issues can get cleared as soon as possible. After submitting PF withdrawal form on CTS Hyderabad, DLF office in the month of May 2015 and even after making number of calls there is no response. The duration of submitting my documents is done in my service period. I don't know what are the issues raising up with them, to issue my certificates and salary. There is no source to check my salary status.. So, how can i check the status of it. Kindly provide me the information above mentioned queries. Please find the details as below Name: N. Lokeshwari, Employee id 434931, PF Account No: TN/MAS/31309/265339.. Regards Lokeshwari

Hi, I left CTS last year. I have been communicating with HRSS and some senior folks about my PF withdrawl in CTS. Now close to a year, it is not done. I have been following up, with CTS and PF. CTS tell it is subbmitted and PF office tells it is not submitted. My pf no: TN/MAS/31309/249001 . My empid: 415453. All mails of communications I am keeping such that if any issue comes then I have no choice but to forward the same to the highest authority. It is such a shame that in 2014-15 it takes a lot of doing and we have to write this letter. We are wasting everyone's time. Hope the person who is doing it has senses. Thanks, Raja

Dear Sir/Madam, I am extremely disappointed for the rude behavior of one of the staffs of Apollo Pharmacy, Kolkata Salt lake Sector 5 branch. I am a customer of this branch since this was opened. The service is not at all good and they keep waiting the customers for long even if there is not much crowd. people working here are not professional. I would like to bring into your notice one such incident which happened to me on 20th July, 2015. I have purchased some items form this Pharmacy and when I went for billing, my bill amount was 210.I gave the person in the billing a 500 rupee note. He asked me for Rs10, I said I sincerely 'I don't have', to which he replied, "if you don't have Rs10 note from where I will give you Rs 90 change". The incident happened in the evening, he was very rude and I was forced to keep my items and come back as I didn't have a Rs10 note. Kindly look into this matter. Thanks Anasua Acharya

Sir/Madam, I have received a call letter from karthik.[protected]@cherish-hr.com and automated call on last Friday (10, July, 2015) for confirmation to attend interview on Saturday @11.00 am. I reached CTS building at Manyata, Bangalore to attend the interview but in my surprise I came to know that there was no drive for my profile. After that I tried to clarify this with the HR person but instead off listening my points without validating my profile he did misbehave with me and framed me as Fake person. I was shocked the way he handle the situation, he asked the security to throw me out and commanded that I should not attend the CTS any more (which I will definitely not do) . Please tell why I should be in receiving end if there are fake consultant sending candidate to CTS. I am not fake and I don't have any interest to attend CTS interview by force after travelling 20 km and sacrifice my valuable time with family on weekend. I am the ex student of NIT Durgapur and after 8.5 years of experience, I don't need this kind of tricks to get jobs. My question is 1) why didn't he ask the consultant name to keep the record to take action against them 2) Why didn't he checked my profile, my background before blame me as fake candidate. 3) When I was explaining my situation to security, he didn't allow it to happen, why? The security is different entity of a company and they have their own jurisdiction or rights to validate the incident. If you are taking feedback through CTS website for fake call letter then you are admitting that candidate have suffered due to this kind of incident. I have been in interview panel many times and I didn't have experience where a HR person is loosing his cool and without trying to address the actual situation directly blame the candidate and insult in from of n number of people by telling him as rowdy, fake and telling don't come to this company. Kindly look into my request and please make sure the HR are well trained to handle this kind of situation. Because they are representing the organization and not himself. Thanks, Tanmoy Mondal. email: [protected]@yahoo.com

Hi, Initially I joined CTS as a contractor from Mafoi Randstad Consultancy from Apr 5th 2010 to October 31st 2010. The contract was for till September 30, 2010 and I have received Offer Letter from CTS stating on Date of Joining as October 1st. But the HR people delayed the processing of my profile and it has extended the contract with consultancy by one month i.e., till October 31, 2010. Now, as per the records of consultancy my service is from Apr 5th 2010 to Oct 31, 2010. But my Date of Joining in CTS is December 1st 2010. and I received my service letter from December 1st 2010 only. So November month's 2010 experience is missing. When I check my bank statements, CTS has credited salary for me twice in the month of December 2010. 1. One is on Dec 4th 2010 2. Second is on Dec 31st 2010. Now, When I am asking for November month's experience, no one is responding and the people as simply time passing. Since Last 4 months I have been following up with the people but not rectified till now. My Employee ID: 233292 Request you to please take action or I would go legally..

More than 70% of the HR department in Chennai Cognizant is corrupted for job offerings with pay - above 10 Lakhs per annum. Just verify this by sending a 100 % eligible candidate for a position posted for salary above 10 lakhs, ask him to post his CV in Cognizant's Career portal. Though the candidate is 100 % eligible he won't even get a call from the HR department atleast just for a formality. Try sending the same Eligibility Satisfying Candidate's CV/ Resume to the respective HR's official mail ID - they will SHIFT+ DELETE all the resumes they receive in their official webmail for jobs above 10 lakhs and wont even look at the resumes posted through company's career portal. They just bribe huge amounts by which they are earning more than 20 + lakhs per annum . If you support these cheap HRs then try the above and then you'll feel the highest point of corrupted sector in the entire India. I kindly request Cognizant's Directors and Vice Presidents to check the webmails of the HRs and the posted resumes in cognizant's own job portal - careers page- to know the truth at least one in a week. This will remove all the Chennai based Cognizant HRs crime filled with bribery and corruption.

I have been selected for CTS on 19th Feb 2015 and submitted documents after 3 days. HR explained me everything about policies of the company etc etc and said he will release offer letter within a week's time. But when I called after a couple of weeks reminding him about offer letter he said there is no update from business team and once he get update he will let me know. Days passed and its been almost two months and I have not heard any communication from them !! When I tried to get them through mail I got to know that concerned HR is no longer available with the company and no other person responds to any calls that we try to reach them !!! A company which has got the least values !! At least they should tell something or the other instead making us to wait for months together... Its good even if we don't select but they select people and make them wait like fools !! And its a case with almost everyone who had taken up the interview in the month of Feb.

But expected this reply before First EMI Clearance. This kind of reply after 4 months is not acceptable. And As per reply from Vishwanath and Chandra Sekhar from ING VYSYA BANK, Bangalore - "ECS mandate cannot be processed, as the cheques submitted for the same are of HDFC Bank, Sastry Nagar, Chennai. So only PDCs can be processed, for which I already submitted 11 cheques", which is conflicting your reply below. Hence what I need to consider?? which one is correct?? Do I need to fill the attached form and get it signed?? If so present I'm not in PUNE. On 25th of this month will be back to PUNE. Else you need to send Executive to My Residence in Secunderabad, Telangana. Need your Quick Confirmation in this regard once again.
