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.

Dislikes

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.

I joined Cognizant as a fresher and it’s a best place for starting your career. Culture is very good maybe because of company USA origin. I got good ratings for my hard work without any politics.

Dislikes

Salary and hike is low. Waiting period for promotion is so high even though if you have top year end rating.
