The colleagues with who we started are amazing and for sure they were worth to stay. Higher salary compared to the market. Flexible working time.

Cons

-New management is missing experience -PT TL is mocking and insulting on the floor (no experience at all) -PT TL has also no process knowledge -no opportunities to grow within the company - also not after 18 months -no bonus or incentives monthly or quarterly (yearly bonus is a joke) -no site management at all -no HR visible (1 person in Krakow, the rest in Gdansk) -low level recruitment (from agent till management) -Company is not interested to keep the good performers (a bunch is leaving because of the current situation) -Portuguese TL has lack in his own language -Travel cost which were promised is not kept -after management change, no structure at all on site -no future plans sharing -feedback is a "no go" as we are never receiving any -Salary negotiation is not possible (even after 18 months)

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
