Thank you for taking out your time to submit a review and share your experience. We are glad to hear that you found strong learning opportunities, exposure to multiple global projects and a supportive management team, as these are important aspects of career growth at Cognizant.
We also understand your concerns around salary variations and slower promotion cycles. We are consistently reviewing our pay structures to remain competitive and fair, and we continue to evaluate growth frameworks to make progression clearer and more transparent.
Your balanced feedback helps us reflect on what is working well and where improvements are needed to better support our associates over time. We are focused on strengthening these areas and evolving the experience in a meaningful way.
Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.
Cons
Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
