Parochial TamBram Enclave.

Not just Tam, you need to be a Bram as well to get into Cognizant.
The American parent cant even imagine the sort of casteism pratised by Cog India.

Nice way to defend what you are doing dude.
Not to forget your fellow raja, who is just like you and stands as an example

Favor-ism is a wrong thing ... when done too much the it is illegal, immoral and criminal too.

Code of Conduct
by Dheeraj Gupta on Jun 04, 2011 10:04 AM

If this organization is member of "Confederation of Indian Industry" and following "CII Code of conduct" so it is not possible for it to sideline the candidate on the basis of Cast.

I couldn't get into this company because I am not a TAMILIAN !

Hi everyone,
I finished 3 rounds of interviews for successfully Project Manager position with this company in Bengaluru and finally didn't hear anything from them for a month. When I checked with my friend who referred me, he told I have been sidelined because I am not a Tamilian !

Lies . Cognizant recruited 7700 people last quarter. Data shows only 750 were Tamilians. Meaning No Bias , you did not get in because you did not have or match the skill.

I think its a grossly false claim. Dont try to bring on communal feelings. Most probably you did not get through due to a mismatch of expectation. Cognizant is a very fair company. ( I dont work for them).

Well I may or may not agree with Satya, but this is the conception in the mind of all the common man (IT techie)
What cognizant is doing to overcome it? perhaps nothing

Prema Fool - Every IT giant has these attributes. Its upto the employee to develop himself into a value added commodity for his survival. No one helps you grow here. Its all YOU and YOU only.

I can show many CTSians who are extremely happy with the way their career has shaped up and are successful in life.

There are still people in this world who thinks English is everything. It is just another language and if u can communicate what you think with client then that should be enaugh. u dont need a B.A in English for this profession

u need not try to rate this company.. rather i wud tell, better experience the favoritism of this company than to comment bad about it.. I was not eligible on my first shot to enter this company but now I rank in higher position here with proven track record when i gain some experience with my previous company.... So be a part of it if u have knowledge and guts to face the situation!!
