This was very disappointing to go and attend the interview at CTS. I have 4 years of IT experience .The way we were treated and received response was so rude. There was neither place to sit nor water to drink. Eventhough it was clearly mentioned in call letter that entire interview process will take 2 hours, I was standing between crowd for 2 hours to let my turn come. In return after so long wait when I asked how long it gonna take more, then response was like, "i[censored] have patience wait else leave so many others standing too". This words from contact person - Manju.
I asked for my profile back and walked out.

I have been interviewed on feb 20 2016 and it is been informed that i will be joining on march 7 and instead of many emails to the hr there is no response and i havent received offer letter and while checking with other candidates it is been said that they too dint receive any letter and it is been told that there is no interview been taken on that day

I am working for cognizant technology solutions. My associate id is 458769. I have applied for hdfc food card before 30days. Still now i did not received the food card.

Why they named as Cognizant.. they could have named something else..
Heard lot about the brand and the impacts but here after reading all the comments by the employees of them is making some poor view..
What our central government is doing ..
Cant they respond for any of these complaints. Or cant they give a separate email Id for those who seek grievances..?

Hi,

I'm a bit Surprised and worried of getting the below reply after continuous follow-ups and raising complaints in EPF Forum. Raising my concern in Forum means - "I decided to withdraw My PF Contribution along with interest".

Kindly consider this as my final Confirmation and Submit my PF Withdrawal Application along with Form15G to EPF.

I never expected reply from you as - "your closure form...

Cognizant Technology Solutions — PF Withdraw status since 8 months

Hi,

I am Leela Madhavi Velamakanni, Ex-employee of Cognizant. I applied for withdrawal of my PF while leaving the organization. Till now I have not yet received my PF amount. Its more than 8 months now. I wrote repeated emails but no response for the same . In some of the email conversation I had, I was told that, there was a typo in my father name and so, was rejected by PF officials. After that, there was no response from HR, Cognizant Tech. Sol. (P) Ltd., Pune. Now, I have not yet received my PF amount. I don't see any results while checking my PF balance online. I didn't have any updates from your end too. My only concern is, did anybody withdrew my PF amount? Because I never faced these kind of issues with any of my earlier companies. And, its more than 8 months I left Cognizant. Can anybody please help me to get my money? Till now, I was thinking Cognizant is the only company professionally managed in comparison with other service companies in India. But, its seems completely
ridiculous.

Hi,

I have lost my HDFC food plus card and i had even blocked it. When I raised request to reissue the lost card, there has been a notification that based on the date that i had raised the request, I will get my card on 12th of this month. But i did not get my card till now.

Please do the needfull as early as possible.

I interviewed at cognizant raheja mindspace on 23 Jan 2016 and cleared all the round. Hr told me u will get offer letter by next week but did not get any confirmation mail and formal offer letter till now.

I had given interview with cognizant in Bangalore. After clearing technical, managerial, client and HR round, I had been told that offer letter will be released in a week. But its been 3 weeks now they haven't released offer letter. I mailed the HR but no reply from them. When i called them they are saying business has said to keep the offer letter on hold and they will release the offer letter once business gives go ahead.


If there are no openings or if they wait for business go ahead after all the rounds, why they will conduct the interviews

I have registered my address detail as my permanent address but now i need check book at my present address. Can i request for that.

Many students all over from India got placed in Cognizant through off campus and on campus interviews.. They got the offer letters.. But we are not getting the joining letter..Its been more than 1 year after interview.. when we tried to contact Cognizant, they are saying only only thing.."The Joining will be based on business requirements only" .. so we are waiting since months.. every student is frustrated because of this.. Where are you Cognizant?? if you dont want us, then why you gave us hopes ?? :/ you can see many groups in facebook created by us.. the students are waiting for cognizant deferring other offers.. atleast mail the students a tentative date of joining please..

Hi, My name is Zinia Mukherjee, working in Cognizant Technology Solutions. In last February I received a call from an employee of HDFC stating that HDFC is providing credit card to cognizant employees without any extra cost/hidden cost as per collaboration. I agreed but never used the credit card, the card is intact in the envelop as of now. Few days after receiving the credit card, another person called me and literally forced me to pursue a policy against my card to make it secure. I denied multiple times, then he suggested to agree as of then and he would cancel it later whenever I would ask him to stop it. The very next day I called him to stop the policy, he agreed but did not do it. I was continuously getting bills against my card. After couple of days I called him again and talked to his manager as well. That senior person also agreed to stop the policy immediately but did not keep his word too. Few days later I called customer care and then they advised me too send hard copy mail to their Chennai office, I did that even. But it was of no use. I am still getting the bills, and it is getting higher and higher day by day which has reached now minimum 8000rs.. They are now sending representative to my home address to collect the money which I have never used. They are harassing me everyday over phone calls and mails. This is just not expected from a 'so-called' renowned bank like HDFC. Why should I pay them money when I have not used it even? Thanks, Zinia Mukherjee meet.[protected]@gmail.com

Dear Sir,
Greetings of the day!
I could not dream a dream that the prestigious IT house like Cognizant may recruit such a lower grade employee ! The name of the Employee is Mr. Anurag Sinha (probably employed in your pune branch). He is a B.Tech pass-out from KIIT University, Bhubaneswar. Actually he was my student while I was in KIIT. Today in the morning suddenly he threw a slang (tremendous abusive word)to my facebook (although he was not in my friend circle) chat box. In fact many of my friends are senior members of your esteemed house and I feel proud that are employed in a esteemed company like Cognizant.The screen shot of that chat box is attached herewith. Is your house presently giving efficient training to the younger aspirants "How to talk vulgar words publicly"?
His facebook account is: https://www.facebook.com/anurag.sinha.71
After passing this ill comment Mr Anurag has blocked me in accessing his facebook account so that I cannot reach him anymore. Still I have enough respect for this prestigious house, but have you ever felt that due to these type o[censored]nprofessional personalities in your company, it is earning bad image !!

Soon, I will post this event to different social medias so that society remain aware of this kind of happening from a prestigious, organization like Cognizant.

Hope you should take strong action against this type o[censored]nprofessional personalities ..otherwise this type of activity will never end ...!!
