Nothing.

Dislikes

No salary hike/merit increase for past 2 years. Only targeted people are offered salary hike. This is the main reason why attrition rate in Cognizant is extremely high (31% attrition) in the last quarter. 1 out of every 3 people in Cognizant is resigning. I am really trying my best efforts to leave Cognizant as soon as possible to enhance my career growth and to increase my renumeration.
