CTS Hybrid Model Details

I have received an offer from Cognizant (CTS), and I would like to understand whether it is worth joining.

1. Does CTS follow a hybrid work model? If yes, how many days per week or per month am I required to work from the office?
2. Can I complete the required 12 office days continuously (or cumulatively) and work from home for the remaining days of the month?
3. Since my base location is Bangalore, will I be allowed to log in and work from oth location Kolkata?

Depends on the project you are allocated to, people might bad mouth CTS but tbh imo they got very good salary structure if compared with other MNCs especially WITCHs.
Got bad internal hikes but if you got no other offers then go for it, it's not that bad tbh!

And if I talk about wfh, it also depends on project. I haven't been to office since last 2 years.

Min 2-3 days in office when in project, sometimes full remote if u get lucky and pm agrees. Why don't u change base location to kolkata before joining?

like

It depends on project manager to to do continuously for 12 days . Usually it’s mandatory to go 2-3 days a week. If your project is remote you can request them to switch base location to Kolkata

like

1. Hybrid model is 2 to 3 days in office.
2. This is highly unlikely, PM or HR can consider this, but not on regular basis.
3. You are not supposed to work from non-base location.

Change base location to kolkata, speak to recruiter, and over all Cognizant is much better than indian service based MNC

I have an EdTech client looking to hire a lead designer. They're looking for someone with 5+ years experience and background in either early education or consumer mobile apps. Fully remote (US company). Great team. DM for details.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

When you’ve put in a lot of hard-work as a developer on a great project and received the best performance award but compensation has been same since Day 1…and have completed 2 years in the company. Furthermore no signs of compensation going up…Is it the best time to leave or stay? Additionally too many management changes have taken place that everything feels out of place.
