Review of Cognizant as a PAT

Programmer analyst trainee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally, everything is good. Greate team, great managers, great teammates, good work life balance(hybrid - 2-3 days office a week). Learning wise also Udemy full access is there and the company provides vouchers for those AWS, GCP and Azure certification exam vouchers for free.

Cons

Salary is quite less and needs to be revised for the work done. Even after converting to Programmer Analyst after completing 1 year, it is quite less. During training, salary was even lesser, and is not sustainable. Training period was quite useless, They try to teach you a lots of technologies in a short period of time. In the end, employees only get a basic overview and need to learn again in detail after getting a project.
