My name is arnab mukherjee. I was posted as a 'network infrastructure analyst' in ust global from jan 2019 to feb 2019. After working for 2 months, i was informed about a job opportunity in cts by one of my friends. Realizing it to be a better opportunity and that too in a renowned organisation, as cts acclaims to be, i gave it a shot. I appeared for all the rounds of interview, as directed by the company hr of cts, and succeeded in all of them and got selected. After selection, i was handed over the offer letter and was said to join as soon as possible, as the vacant post demanded of immediate joining. As directed, i started uploading the required documents in their job portal and gradually i was directed from one step to the another in the portal which i deligently followed. On the other hand, unfortunately, my previous employer, ust global had denied me the offer letter and without a delay i mentioned the same to the one of the associates of cts. Thereby i was directed by her to upload the offer letter provided by cts itself into their job portal and i acted accordingly. After all these processes my job application finally moved to the next level and a boarding pass was generated. The joining date was also confirmed at this point of time.

After all these, i was called one fine day from cts. On receiving the call, i was got to know from them that i was selected for a family trip to pune, whereby the flight and the hotel accommodation charges would be debited from my credit card. It is pertaining to mention here that i enquired about such a sudden decorative offer from a company, i am yet to join, and that too on my money. I was categorically told, on this account that, this money would be reimbursed with my first drawn salary. I had to give in to this splendid idea, more so, as it came from a coveted company like cts, of which everyone dreams to be a part. Also to mention, i was supposed to join in the pune branch of cts.

Accordingly, i travelled to pune with my family, enjoyed a good time, and after some days of relaxation, i reached their office, on the required date mentioned by them, to join. I was astonished to know that i was denied the post and the reason mentioned was "the documents weren't sufficient". It was utterly disgusting and humiliating and was unthinkable of an organisation like cts. I paid regular visits to enquire about my debited amount which they had promised to reimburse me with my first drawn salary, but in vain. After such repeated tries, one day my offer letter was revoked and i was clearly mentioned that the trip expenses won't be reimbursed. I tried contacting the hr manager many a times, but to no avail, as he/she had already blocked my no. By then.

Later on, a month ago, a lady from cts called me up, inquiring about the reason behind me not joining the company. I detailed her everything in seriatim; to which she clearly mentioned that a "resignation acceptance mail" from my manager at ust global would have sufficed as my document for joining.

I have attended interview with cts on july 18th and cleared all technical rounds and had hr discussion as well. Hr confirmed that you will receive an offer from recruiter in couple of weeks. Later on july 25th i received an email from talent acquisition team to fill the candidate details and upload 2 photos. On the same day i have submitted but after that there is no update. Still waiting for the offer letter. I don't have any recruiter details. Kindly suggest.

I had received mail from cognizant tag team saying "my application kept on hold" on 24th july 2019. 2 days later again, got a call from one of the project manager from cts asking about my profile and told that i will get update from hr asap.

I sent a mail asking about my interview status as well but no response received till date. Now, almost one month passed since last communication received from cts. I don't know when will i get my offer letter.

Hi,
My name is sibesh ghosh i have worked in cognizant from 30/07/2018 to 15/01/2019 my account was mscrm. I was recruited as an.net resource there but after joining i came to know that i have been put in ms crm account, that was also not an issue for me. After that we have gone through a training session but that was totally worthless. The worst thing was still
Waiting for me. Now i have been allocated in the project lead by kasturi chatterjee (Having associate id 249083) she always try to find any opportunity to humiliate me infornt of whole odc whether i am guilty or not. She never follows office decorum. She ran her hitleri rule so each project member be frightened and obey her all instruction whether it is feasible or not. The only thing she knows is to harassed her subordinate, and she likes to be surrounded by her foot lickers. Unfortunately she is so technically weak that she wanted her all work load will be distributed to her team member. I have taken the whole thing to my manager mr. Amitava biswas (Having associate id 131242) but he has not taken any action at all. After that i have resigned from my job or else she has bounded me to give resignation. After resigned my hr manager mr. Tirthankar bose has called me and ask me the reason behind my resignation i have shared all the things there he has assured me he will take proper action ask me to send one mail to him stating all incident, i have done all the thing according his instruction, but after that i have been mailed that my last working date has been preponed from 21/01/2019 to 15/01/2019. Now my question is that without informing candidate how can they do that. I believe that they have also managed the hr manager. After my resignation kasturi has done same things to two other guys also. So its my request to all to think twice before going to mscrm account of cognizant. Its is the one of the most worst account of cognizant as per work culture. I know that i am doing this complain after few months of my resignation but i recently come to know of this portal from my friend.

Now, almost 18 days passed since last communication received from cts. I don't know when will i get my offer letter.

Please tell me, when will i get my offer as am fully depending on this offer.

I had my interview without a cts at kochi on july 13th and was selected on the same day. I had the amcat test for java spring and hibernate and i think i performed well in the test that they took me and another interviewee directly for the hr round and said we need not give the technical round. I was asked to fill up the cis form post which i was called for the hr interview.

Now i am a candidate who has worked with wipro for over 6 years post which i had to take a career break due to spouse relocation and kids.

Irrespective of all this i had always ensured that i kept mysel[censored]pdated with the latest technology skills and even learnt the angular framework and i am currently freelancing as an it trainer and developer.

All these details were discussed with hr and finally hr told me that i was selected and that i would receive my offer letter in 2 weeks.

Now it’s been a month and absolutely no signs of the offer letter. On following up with hr, they sent a reply saying they are working on my offer and that i would receive the same shortly... Post that i got an invite for a live interview and was told to fill up a form and upload my photo and submit the same. The hr told me that i need to attend the interview as i have already completed the hr round and so i just need to fill up the form and submit. I did the same.

The very next day when i called the hr for an update, she started with an entirely different story and said that since i have a break in career i would have to take up a technical interview to be selected.

I don’t understand what cognizant thinks of candidates. Why does cognizant even call candidates if you think career break is a problem? Why do you waste our time and effort? Did i say i would not go through a technical interview on july 13th? It was you who decided that i should directly give the hr interview based on my performance in amcat and do you think clearing amcat with a good score can be possible by anyone who has no knowledge of programming concepts?
Why should i agree for a technical interview now after a month?

What is the kind of professional ethics that you follow? Is your intention only to harass candidates in the name of a job offer? I declined two job offers because i wanted to join cognizant and because i was offered the same by cognizant.

What’s even more frustrating is that’s i am being called again and again by some other hrs of cognizant for the same opening every single weekend. Does cognizant even have enough projects i doubt now? Are you trying to hold interviews just to show the outside world that you are still worth it?

With deep regret all i have got to say to anyone who attends an interview with this organisation is please do not trust them at any cost. And it is absolutely not worth working for such an insensitive organisation.

I have attended cognizant interview on 20th july at cognizant office raheja it park, hyderabad. I had all the three rounds of interviews (Technical, managerial and hr) on the same day. The salary negotiation is also completed and i am willing to move to bangalore from hyderabad. Hr told that i will receive my offer within a week to 10 days.

Only july 23rd a hr from cts has update day asking me to join the live interview and fill some form with photo on 23rd july 2019. I had completed the procedure on the same day itself.

After that i haven't got any update from them. On august 13th i have contacted the hr again and looped me with another person to provide an update on my offer letter.

Today, that is on august 14th, the exact words from my mail update is below

"tibco offers are in complete freeze now. We will reach you next year"

If they doesn't want to give an offer letter even after selected, why do they take interviews and give false hopes to people like me. Even if it is one mont or 2 months is fine, what is the point in reaching me next year.

I dont know whether i will receive an offer letter from them even if i wait for next year.

Please help me with this.

I gave interview in cognizant on date 13th july 2019, i cleared hr round. They told me they will release my offer letter in next week but no update. When i emailed them and they replied on 2 and 6 august mentioning that they will release my offer till eod but still i didn't received offer letter. After that i took update from them and now they are saying they didn't received approval. Afain i called them they told me they are not sure if they will release it or not. Could you please help me with it. Will i receive offer letter or not.

I am karthick raj. I attended interview and cleared it on mar'16 in cts kandanchavadi for power bi and hr told me that i will receive my offer letter in 3 weeks. I got candidate information filling form till now. Whenever i check the spoc, i receive a response saying that they will connect with me if they have any opportunity for my skill.

But i saw interviews happening for my same skills after few months also.

It's highly frustrating that they took almost 5 months and still haven't processed my offer letter. There is no time frame given when they will release the offer too.

Someone kindly inspect and let me know the reason why i am not given the opportunity yet.
