I have observed discriminatory behaviour in Cognizant to women. Management does nothing, female leaders seem to be leaving and exec board says “we are run by meritocracy, if we can’t hire more women is because we don’t have enough female candidates with the right skills”. Most of my female colleagues are afraid of retaliation if reporting. Has anyone had similar experience in the company? Did you report? Cognizant

Stay away from Indian IT consulting firms. Saying this as an Indian and having worked at Infosys in the US.

I have seen female Indian colleagues getting promoted and they seem to navigate well, the ones with more issues of integration / lack of happiness are non-Indian… why do you say staying away? Thank you x

WITCH firms are like that. That’s why most of us leave as soon as we can.

Yeah I was really excited to interview with Cognizant…..Till the interview happened. That was 6 years ago though

I went through a training program to become a consultant at Cognizant. They didn't hire me the first time around even though I had the highest score in my class. During the interview, because I have a data analysis background, the Mgr kept trying to say he thinks I am not serious about this job. Well they finally made me an offer. I declined and started at another company with $10k higher salary + bonuses. Also one interviewer asked if I was a boy or girl during the call. (I dress androgynous, but i have a feminine name and you can clearly see that i am a woman) This company is awful and disrespectful.

You can file a lawsuit for anything it doesn’t mean that it’s worth it

So.... Design tests being part of the hiring process. How does everyone feel about these? I’ve run into them a few times while applying for work and spent weekends working on them with no hire by the end of the process. In a way I can see why they do it - but I’m also weirded out that my portfolio just isn’t enough. What’s everyone’s take? And does anyone do this in their hiring process?

Over the course of 6 weeks, I had several panel interviews and the next step was a final in-person interview. Each round I had great feedback and my correspondence with the company recruiter was consistent and friendly. Until now. After a week of radio silence since my last interview, I sent a gentle polite follow up that has gone unanswered for almost a week. I saw that the original JD was reposted on LinkedIn a few days before my last interview (ugh). Am I being ghosted? So confusing.

Hey everyone! Wanted some advice - got an offer from a big ad agency for a Planning Manager role. Base salary is $90K (more than satisfactory, I have 2.5-3 years of total agency exp), but their PTO is severely lacking especially compared to my unlimited PTO benefit at my current job - they offered 10 actual PTO days, which are even prorated since it's mid-year. Assuming their PTO allowance is negotiable, any advice for how to handle the email follow-up to the written offer/how much to ask for?
