Cognizant Employee

"Cognizant is very big company with lot of opportunities. It's expanding very aggressively. It gives a lot of freedom to the leaders to innovate in their jobs and encourages to learn. But, the compensation is really low and very difficult to move up."

"Good company. Good work. Depends on your luck! After one project gets over, you have to be ready to relocate to a new place. Pay-scale is too less."

"I will always be in debt to Cognizant for making my move to the USA possible, however they do not value their employees in my experience. Their internal systems of management are particularly poor and the review process comical."

"I have been with Cognizant for almost 3 years now and it gave me a good picture of how a huge IT company operates. I respect the company a lot but the experience of employees may vary from project to project. I have had a decent experience with Cognizant, but it hasn't been all that great."
