I have been hired in a process where Cognizant require at least 2 years of experience whereas I have been hired as a fresher because of my technical skills. I love my work so much because it involves so many skills like team work, management, stastistical, technical, investigating etc. I have been working directly with the large scale clients such as wallmart, Yum, Reliance etc.

Cognizant is just acting as a mediator. Cognizant is there to just pay the employees. Except for this cognizant plays no role in the work. I am using my Google corporate domain for my work and I am acting as a Googler for my clients.

Management will not care about your problems. Salary is low compared to competitors. They'll change your project at September and for year end rating they'll simply say we haven't got chance to fully understand your capabilities as you've recently joined in the project. Every year this loop continues. No matter how hard you work or how many appreciations you get from client. "The more number of days you're in the same LOB, the more rating you'll get." (This is the excuse I've got when I questioned about the rating, despite having multiple client appreciations). This demotivates for sure!
