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.

Hi Fishes, I got a call from Infosys HR stating that I'm selected and I would receive offer in 10 days. It's been around 12 days now, yet to receive the offer. HR's not picking the calls too. Any ideas, has anyone undergone the same situation. Please help. Infosys Infosys Limited Infosys Consulting

Being a data scientist you should have scientifically analyzed the data on Cognizant before joining
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
U did not have any other offer apart from CTS ?
There are many reasons. Better u didn't join. Only tye manufacturing plant jobs are good.
You can still ask your other companies to change joining date to join them back
I told Tech Mahindra 10 days before that I won't join. Now I called them again. They said they'll check and get back. Not sure what they're going to do.
Thank God, I got a project, one of my colleague is not getting project too, she is much stressed, she has same technology as mine.she has joined on 2nd September
I totally agree. Relying on Ford for now. In 1 year another jump or direct Ford.
That's sad....move out soon 😢
I will. Even if I get allocation I have no idea to stay. Such an worst behavior
Strange. I heard no such bad policy . But hearing the same in CTS wipro everywhere. Not good
Did you get a project 🥲
