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

Nothing any... full of politics, rude and unfriendly managers who just think I'm at the top of hierarchy and I can do anything

Dislikes

Leadership team decision to delay promotion and salary hikes whenever there is bad market situation so be it Covid-19 pandemic or US presidential elections 2016 they just panicked out of sudden and act unethically against the employees to fire them out of the job by deliberately and unethically penalizing them with the lowest ratingin the year end appraisal process. Later the situation proves not an issue in terms of company still earning fat profits/revenues with only employee got affected....Read More
