They’ll hire you, don’t stress. Also don’t expect experienced hire training, their way of auditing is weird, and you’ll have to moonlight for other offices and no one will explain anything to do. So just be prepared to figure everything out yourself and there’s no style guide for any work papers (most of their formulas are in black so watch out)

They use PowerBI and it is a pain. I don’t recommend coming here unless they offer you much more

CBIZ and BDO are like the last 2 circles of hell

Just want to share that I work at BDO and love it. I know people can be negative but I have no desire to leave. I do work in office that has amazing culture and leadership. So I think that helps a lot.

Be yourself and ask questions that will help you decide if it's a good fit for you!

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
