My recent experience with Cognizant has been incredibly frustrating and ultimately, very disappointing. After a hiring process that spanned almost two months, I was given a verbal offer, which I accepted. However, this was never formalized, and despite my follow-ups, the company has since ghosted me entirely. The lack of communication after extending an offer is unacceptable. It's one thing to decide not to move forward with a candidate, but it's another entirely to leave someone hanging for weeks, especially after giving them hope by verbally offering a position. This process has not only wasted my time but also created significant stress and uncertainty. Transparency and clear communication are fundamental in any hiring process. If a company decides not to proceed with a candidate, a direct and timely notification is always the professional course of action. Stringing candidates along only to then cease all communication is a disservice and reflects poorly on the company's respect for job seekers. I sincerely hope they re-evaluate their recruitment practices to prevent other candidates from enduring such a disheartening experience.
