What people at Cognizant are saying

3.6
 Rating based on 12 Security Engineer reviews

Likes

Specially for security testing there is no work pressure at all and also in security testing service line promotions happens frequently. You can get on-site opportunities once you become senior associate but there is no scope for learning new things

Dislikes

The scope of services is less. Lack of talented people makes the team weak.
