... to recommend about Cognizant. The work culture is transparent and meritocratic. Compensation and benefits are above industry average. It is a fairly flat organization where one can make multiple lateral movements as long as one showcases aptitude for work. You will be challenged and rewarded.

Salary - Good

One wishes that Life sciences in Cognizant develops in house AI/ML and other advanced technology based proprietary solutions. Lack of investments hampers expansion.

One Works In Cognizant only if he/she is not getting any other better Opportunity. Avoid Working For Cognizant.

Dislikes

... One has to spend 9 hrs in office even if the day's target achieved before that. Promotions, Better Salary hikes are decided by Closeness to your Manager No Security of Job. If a project ends then the Onus is on Associates of that project to find appropriate position in some other Project. Although there is a WFM team to help the associates in such scenario but they will just share few mails and conduct some meetings, beyond that associate has to find the new position on their own. But Cognizant is a good place for Sycophants. If one has blessings of some Manager then he/she can get good hikes, time bound promotions, can easily move from one project to another

Salary - Excellent

Dislikes

One thing I dislike about these companies are there is no guarantee of job security...they will pick 10/15 employees and moved them to different project within the company (internal movement)..which I think is a part of business but needs to be reviewed....

Job security - Bad
