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.

I don’t know in which era the owners are living in, where they think giving 5 days of paternity leaves are more than enough. I think they feel that father has nothing n absolutely no contribution in child birth and care. That celebrate pride month for a month but paternity leave is for 5 days. Horrible
