Cognizant Data Specialist salaries in Kolkata

Likes

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.
