What people are saying about Cognizant

View All

Hi everyone, I’m considering an opportunity at Cognizant and would love to hear from current and former employees. What’s the salary growth like compared to industry standards? Any insights on learning opportunities and career progression? A few details regarding my profile: YOE- 6 | Tech- Mainframe | CCTC - 11 | Offered - 17.7 Getting a project in Cognizant is also not an issue for me as I used to work there and now, I'm going back to the same project. Would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance! #Cognizant #CareerAdvice #JobChange #ITIndustry #WorkLifeBalance #SalaryGrowth

Bsc graduates will suffer to get higher position and salary even if you have better skill than engineering graduates. Thay only look for degree. Most of the time you have to teach everything related to skill to a person who having multiple of time higher package than you.
