As far I have seen, Cognizant does not value its employees neither in terms of compensation nor in the way they are treated by their direct managers. Start some changes before it backfires to you.

Does anyone know if they hire ex-employees at all? I used to work as analyst while ago, wasn't laid off or anything, left CTS in good terms after my contract ended. Now I'm trying to apply again and HR is not giving me any reply. Do you know anyone... — read more 

Cognizant is a terribly structured organization, working here means putting yourself totally at your direct manager's mercy, specially in terms of promotion and raise. They don't appreciate creativity, so don't bother to suggest any improvement-... — read more
