I spent 60 months at cognizant technology solutions and I feel that it is a great place to work ,a great place to start your career ,a great place to look out for opportunities especially if ytou are travel ready and want to explore the world after putting in the required hours at office.The work culture is cool...Being and Americanorganization it works on a first name basis so you do not have to undergo the sirs and the madams outlook pervading in most indian organizations...pays well...good increments and bonuses..has grown too big i feel with its mass hiring policies which is making it whimper,if only a little bit...but given a chance i would love to go back and start from where i left off .....Read More
