Azure Architect Salary in Mumbai

If the client is good, Cognizant is good. They offered good salary when hired and when promoted. Udemy and Coursera access for free. Even if we get no work for a month or more, they hold you in the project before releasing you to bench.

Dislikes

When the client is bad, so is Cognizant. Getting release from your manager is tough. All the above factors depends on the clients employees get.

...company, with lot of work and career path flexibility. Good ethics and brand. Compensation or salary hike is subjective but generally those who do not ask for don't get it.

Dislikes

Very poor processes. Most of the projects are badly executed and false commitments to customer is common. Hence customers are not retain for long time. Do not have strength to run large programs.

...f tax saving components are available to maximize the tax savings for employees. The higher basic salary means a higher contribution to EPF and NPS (if opted.) This in turn ensures a good retirement corpus. On the flip-side, the higher contribution to EPF results in a lower take home figure, which a lot of millennials feel is a negative (lower instant gratification.)

Dislikes

Work life balance can be a hit-or-miss depending on the specific client engagement. Globally dispersed teams and even within India the team members maybe located in any part of the country makes one feel disconnected at a human level from the team.
