Cognizant Complaints & Reviews

I have given my interview in cognizant and got the offer letter after 2 months.in that a joining date was mentioned so i planned my travel according to that. But you will never get to join cognizant on the mentioned joining date. They have long recruitment process and the recruiter never answer to your queries. Worst recruitment team, worst behavior of the recruiter, worst recruitment process. Utterly disappointed.

On 19th oct, i replied to his email and also called akarsh. I came to know that the cis softcopy is required for them for bgv and the offer will be based on whatever discussion that took place with shaik jakriya at the time of hr discussion.

After that hr is not responding to my emails and is also not picking up my phone call.

On 5th november, akarsh finally received my call and told me that i will receive the offer in few days.

I am yet to receive any offer from cognizant and they are not responding to any of my emails or phone calls.

I gave an interview in CTS at as a part of the campus recruitment drive conducted in my college (Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology, Greater Noida), cleared all the rounds and was later selected in CTS. All my friends who got selected have already received their offer letters but I haven't.

I submitted the completed cis form along with the requested documents of education, experience and government id proofs on 01 nov 2018 and have not received any update yet.

I attended the interview at cognizant pune location on 6th october. All the rounds and hr discussion was cleared by me and the package discussion was done. They told me that i will be getting the offer letter within a couple of weeks
However, its been more than a month now and i havent received a single email from them regarding anything.
I contacted the hr a few times via email but no response was given.

Pathetic from the side of such a huge mnc. A huge disappointment from a company i was looking forward to work with.

I've attended cognizant off campus drive on 27th oct 2018 in hyderabad at dlf cyber city gachibowli and i've cleared technial and hr interviews and it's been 2 weeks and i didn't get any mail regarding my status whether i'm selected or not. One of my friend who cleared the interview along with me got the offer letter on 09th nov 2018. So please take my request and send the confirmation as soon as possible,

Thank you
