Job Security CTS

I have a got offer in CTS. This is direct project hiring but I also got know some are short term projects.

How is job security in Cognizant? Bench and Layoff policies?

is there any case where the lateral hires were hired , put on bench and asked to voluntarily resign? within few months???????? I had conversation with people inside cognizant working on same tech stack as I am and what I heard is there project requirement 🤔

It is very peculiar.. hiring and project demand are not in sync. Many times resources will join but positions are not there

If you joined cognizant as per the company policy for the first 180 days u are not eligible for the ageing and all after that they will hardly give u 20-35 days otherwise u have to put resign or they will terminate. Current cognizant don't have good resource issue so finding project now a days is easy in compare to Q2, Q3 but most of the project are short terms like 3-6 month period so consider that point.

No, please don't join cognizant. One of my devops friend got hired from different organisation. He got allocated to a project but then they released him without any reason and put him on bench. After that termination letter was provided to him by saying he is not following RTO but in reality he was following RTO as well when he was on bench. Also hikes are not good here. Honestly speaking they hire unskill people (mass hiring) and terminate / force resign skilled people..That's why comoany is on the loss.
