As a QA resource, I can vouch for the Job Security and Benefits. But not much good things to say about this company. One advice, if you need to join Cognizant, choose technology on your term, before joining. Learning scope is there as one of the leading learning platform is free for all associates. But if don't get opportunity to work on new skills, not very useful.

Salary - Good

Dislikes

Compensation does not increase if you are not a lateral hire. From Testing side, Leadership is poor from Estimation & Planning perspective. Hence in most projects either severe work pressure or sudden high number of ramp downs. Some projects are like black-hole if you get in, impossible to get out unless you resign. Yearly Rating system is biased. Managers and Sr. Managers need more training in soft skill.

Promotions - Poor
