      Like the look of these pictures: http://www.cognizant.com/aboutus/facilities/pune.htm[^] Seriously thought I have no clue, just googled it and took a look at the pictures.

It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9

          I hardly find Congnizant taking VC++ guys. This is certainly a good news!. Hey congnizant is really a good company. Don't hesitate to join there. How many years experience do you have? and the Domain?

                2 of my friends worked there - the work load can be heavy at times - these guys used to do 7 day weeks @ 12-14 hours a day. Later, they got sent to the US to the client's location, and the work load was similar! It's hard to judge a company based on a couple of guys' experience - and this was 3-4 years ago. But in general I don't like the idea of a company where you work more than double your 40 hours a week and only get paid for the regular 40 hours. It's okay for a week or two - say a project deadline is close, but on a long term basis, this is the sort of job that can make your life rather mechanical, not to mention extremely tiring. Is this your only job offer now? If not, you might want to consider other options before making a quick decision which you may regret later. Regards, Nish

                            Well they do only 40 hours in paper - which is what they are paid for. The extra 50-60 hours in undocumented and thus unpaid for :-) Regards, Nish

                                  Oops! you are here ? hey I agree with you buddy, but at sea you get to see others fishers right? so you can learn from them. But in a pond, the way you fish is what you know as "The Fishing".. :( Am I right? .. I'm really worried about the *standards* they have in a *pond* :sigh:.. But your idea always had a meaning! :-D

                                        Oops! you are here ? hey I agree with you buddy, but at sea you get to see others fishers right? so you can learn from them. But in a pond, the way you fish is what you know as "The Fishing".. :( Am I right? .. I'm really worried about the *standards* they have in a *pond* :sigh:.. But your idea always had a meaning! :-D
