"I have been with Cognizant Technology Solutions since 2006 till date. It is a great organization to start your career with. You get to learn a lot, but considering the number of staff Cognizant has acquired in the recent past, the hierarchy at the top has too many people and that is affecting the promotions and work recognition of the root level employees. People above the level of Manager have very less issues with promotions and/or pay hikes, but people at the root level suffer the most."

"I would strongly recommend the company for my friends due to the work culture and how spread the clients are for the company. Only problem would be compensation is not very competitive and sometimes the promotions are not up to market level. But good work-life balance can be achieved."

"I have been working with Cognizant since 2010 and it has been wonderful in terms of career, learning and roles and responsibility. Yet they need to consider the pay rate of their employees. PROS: employee friendly, good benefits, share options for employees, career selection based on skills. CONS: need to consider the better pay for the employees in the USA."

"As every outsourcing company, Cognizant eyes the profit and profit only. It doesn't care about employee status or career. Poorest compensation to employees comparatively. Managers are just mere head shakers to what their bosses say and never have sort of innovation or quality improvement."
