Cognizant AWS and Linux Administrator salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.

Dislikes

1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings or lunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management

My team is really nice, and it's not the case with all the other teams.

Salary, benefits, appraisals, recognition is non existent. Plus there's a lot of politics here, so much that you'll wanna rip your hair off

The work culture is positive and the facilities are excellent. Cognizant provides ample opportunities for professional development and knowledge expansion.

...rk using Teams, it would be more efficient to allow employees to work from home. With such less salary and hikes it is impossible for one to work here.

Compensation and pay structure

Dislikes

Manager hierarchy. Ratings will be given by home manager. He will never know about my performance because he will be working for some other project. Still they give ratings based on some comments without knowing actual performance
