Cognizant in Switzerland - anyone tried

[northernladuk]

What was the worst?

The bit between the start and the end.

[NotAllThere]

What was the worst?

Just two things. Everything they said and everything they did. Incompetent and lazy from start to finish.

[JPC]

Cognizant utterly repugnant company never ever again. They will stiff you on rates so much as they compare all rates to what they would pay you in india.

[NotAllThere]

Just to add. I live in Switzerland, and that's where I worked with them.

[Scruff]

I have friends who have contracted through them. Rate paid to friend was abysmal, rate charged to client over double. Lied thru their teeth to friend that they only added a "small percentage". Found out true rates when an email was mistakenly sent. Treated him very poorly, and treated him not very nicely. He is of the same heritage as the abovementioned company.

It's the nightmare combination - working with one of the dreaded giant Indian IT services companies and the wallet busting expense of staying in Switzerland.
