Cognizant ETL Informatica Developer salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

The Company culture is good to work, especially with the kind of persons work here. job security is good and mostly depends on you performance. i had good work life balance, we can shift out work time based on Eve calls, i had liberty for that, it also depends on your Project. the benefits and hike is very low over last 4 years. the Business Management is on average, we can see Politics on every project. if you outshine every person, then only you can get some recognition and YEA.

Dislikes

There is highly Politics involved in Salary and appraisal, this is one thing i dislike the most. The travel policy is not there in Cognizant, like the onsite opportunities are very rare and heavily politicized, and there is no opportunities like a cycle based onsite traveling for a short term or an business travel to client site, so , you can forget about onsite until you age and you dont care about onsite itself.

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.
