Recently joined Cognizant, amazed with Micro Management! Is Cognizant living in the British Era? The manager is calculating in-out time in a development project. If someone is away for 15mins, calling instantly & scolding in front of everyone. Strange! Seriously regretting to join this hell. Can't concentrate much on work, feels like I am on fire. What happened here! If any HR is reading my post, kindly stop this non sense

You can escalate to skip level managers/directors first .But make sure that from.your end all the deliverables are going fine without issues.
If nothing works you can request release from project or go to HR

Can't disclose everything here That's why we are posting anonymously. This project belongs to Cognizant's one of the top most vertical. I have more than 8+ years in Data Engineering.

What do you expect???… this is a body shop company only concerned about billing a pressuring employees. Walk away if you are mid-career or more before the experience is a big negative on your resume. CTS is not respected outside of ‘WITCH’.
