Hi fishes, joined Cognizant on Sept 20 as a data scientist. Instead of allocating into a project they put me in bench. Just one week passed, Today bench delivery head is telling me to get a project within 30 days of joining or Resign.

Please don't join this worst firm and spoil your career. Tata Consultancy Infosys Cognizant HCL Technologies Tech Mahindra Hexaware Technologies Wipro Amazon

Being a data scientist you should have scientifically analyzed the data on Cognizant before joining

funny

I was on bench for more than 2 months and saw some associates who were on bench for 3 and 4 months but later got the project. My HM warned me few times to get project but didn't say anything about resignation also cognizant has no bench policy for lateral hires so you can assume 6 month is the maximum limit for new joiner to get a project.
So ask you friend use this and prepared for another better opportunity there are plenty of job option available also check in other BU

As far as I know they don't fire you/him/her. My advice is check TMP and apply for opportunities matching with you skills reach out to hiring manager directly and if there is no opportunity in your BU check in other BU also

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting.

I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
