I know a guy who works in Cognizant, he joins this concern last april'08, by producing fake experience certificate.

Now he was sent Abroad regarding business tour. Is it fair? Employees like him should be punished

severely.Will the CTS take severe action?

I opened a Trading account with UNICON with Rs 30, 000 when share market was
on its high. I purchased some shares of Parsvnath and RPL.
When Market was crashed, this value come down to Rs 6000 to 7000. Few
months back, I requested my Relationship Manager to advise
how to recover my principle amount from this point. He suggested me that he
would purchase some shares on behalf of me and I only need to give the
confirmation to Unicon. I agreed and started giving confirmation for all
the transactions made by My relationship Manager.

Upto this point, I have no problem.

After few days, these confirmation calls were stopped. I thought that I
have recovered from my big loss.

Then, I tried to contact my relationship manager, but he never picked up my
phone.

Then I called to Unicon office to confirm, he told me that there is Zero
share balance showing in my trading account.

I was shocked and continuously tried to contact to my RM Vikas Rastogi, But
always got the same answer that He is out of office.

Fortunately, One day he picked my phone unknowingly and he had to explain
me that he invested my money in Stock Loss kind of thing and lost my money.

I still don't know what is Stock Loss, but I am sure this is a kind of
betting or gambling.

I only allowed him to purchase shares on behalf of me, and never allowed
him to gamble with my money.

Now, the current situation is I have lost my 29000 out of 30000.

I just want to trasfer my shares to my account before the game of Stock
Loss was palyed by your Relationship Manager.
They will never know about it...Managers are big damagers in cognizant...

            Dear Vijayakumar

            The PF transfer form was submitted to the PF office, Barkatpura, Hyderabad on 08/07/2008. The PF authority would take about three months for processing and sending the Cheque Annexure ‘K’ to the present PF account. Please check the status with the present employer – Cognizant or PF office, Chennai.

            We do not receive any updates from the PF office, Hyderabad after submission of the form.

                      Hi Mr. Kajla,

                      I am Sreedhar Gurram, from Chennai. I have applied my new passport in Chennai RPO on 8th January’08 (Reference Number: MAS A[protected]. Chennai is my current place where I am working now and my permanent address is in Hyderabad. My passport Police verification at Chennai is done, but in Hyderabad not yet completed. I tried to know the status from Chennai office, they conveyed that file has sent to Hyderabad office on Feb 28th . I also approached to Hyderabad office, but they said your file not there in Hyderabad RPO (As on April last week).

                      On May 19th I have been to Chennai RPO office they are not even responding to my query (Simply saying approach Hyderabad RPO). On the same day to know this status I was on queue in enquiry counter from 9AM to 12.30PM (counter closed at 12.30PM Sharp). {I believe you should provide enough facilities like, at least three enquiry counters and etc…}

                      My issue was what is the status of my application, its been four months but still I am not getting the right information. Please let me know whom should I contact and where I will get the right information on application.

                          This w.r.t to my complaint on "Tax refund not received for[protected]". I would like to mention here that, My complaint is on Income Tax Department, Chennai and not on the organization "Cognizant Technology Solution". A humble request to the Adminstrator of this forum to modify the tab "Company/Product name" to "Complaints on Company/Product name/Person" in the "Submit Complaint" link. Hope this will help us in logging the complaints correctly.

                            Airtel chennai had excellent customer service and billing systems. Is there a plan to integrate the postpaid customers on to a single platform.

                            My credit limit used to be Rs 7500 on [protected], I had blackberry and international roaming

                            I signed up for a new postpaid [protected], my new credit limit is Rs 1500 and I have been barred from making outgoing calls for 24 hours (why do this when you have my customer history) and my blackberry service is awful. do I need to subscribe to the Rs 899/- plan to receive my emails

                            Looking forward to the next bill showing my call history and bill details.

                            Anonymous call from this number

                            Hello sir, we are receiving a call from [protected] (aircell) mobile number, talking very bad. Share the address of this person, or block his number

                                Hey Cognizant Management Team Please Look into this....

                                This is to add few points about Reguraman Deivasigamani's technical skills. Let him about his 12 years of IT experience. If he really has that much experience. Why the bloody hell he is in almost all the testing forums and asking basic questions to the real experts about testing? You people may wonder what I'm talking about. I will add some details about his questions in testing forums for your information. Basically he doesn't know anything technical other than just treating people badly, just because he didn't get any promotion in his career. When companies are firing people for non performance how the management of Cognizant is still retaining people like Deivasigamani without firing him?

                                Just because he didn't get any promotion, he never gives promotions or good ratings and hikes to any of his well performing team members unless until they fight with him and escalate to higher management, this is really the very sad part. If the Cognizant Management still ignore this feedback about this useless Manager, people are going to leave the good company and it is really a big loss for the company.

                                As I promised a few basic questions that Deivasigamani asking in forums and the links FYI.

                                hi frnd,

                                pls explain what is high level design document and low level documents in the software development life cycle with suitable examples.
