Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

I have recently joined Cognizant
First 2 months was on bench and can choose desired project
My current project is very cool, supportive client n team. I see client on-site team backup offshore quite often n well
To be honest I have enough time to do what I want , only attending scum meetings on time is imp
Cognizant managers are not even asking anything to me as if I don’t exist, so it’s complete free and no micro mgmt at least for my project account
As a new Joiner, you should not be bothered till you get your first ratings! They have invested in you!
About the WLB, it would be normal, and Onsite shall try to overlap as much as they can, leading to extended evening hours!
Bench policy applies after you become matured in Cognizant!
More period in bench as a new associate would impact your Ratings as during appraisal you might get some comments like % Billed is less than 100.
I am now 3 years at Cognizant and I have referred a few of my friends. Unluckily one of them had to leave because of the poor ratings in 1st year because of the said reasons.
Other associate is happy and got allocated in project within 19 days of DOJ.
So things could be anything! But rumours as you said are not rumours, but real life events! People might exaggerate the events but it happens!
Better be cautious and keep working!
I joined in 1st week of October. For me it was project specific hiring so no bench time for me. Directly onboarded in decent project. And things going very smooth for me. Only cons I can share is I am not able to find any HR person here, Whenever I need to discuss something I need to raise a ticket and wait for 2-3 days for thier reply.
Same thing with wipro, need to raise ticket for any clarification.
