Hello Cognizant People!!

Can someone please share if there's any policy or clause that says new joiners (laterals joining on SA designation) aren't eligible for onsite roles at least for 6 months or 1 year??
Cognizant

Thanks!

+1 for US one year and this is rule from USICS for L1 visa. For other countries not sure ...
A point related to your question: Cognizant has retained many people with onsite promise. So they may prioritise those and then come to new joiners.

But would they consider if we have self applied valid visa already?

Yes you can try talking to your manager on this.

No need to worry about Job Security. Right now they need people. Layoff is the last thing in HR mind now. Some layoff (attitude issues, poor performance issues) is still ongoing. Attrition will reduce in upcoming quarters.

W.r.t your existing visa / WP / PR get a buy in from your hiring manager/HR before you join. Once you join no one will listen to you.

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep.

Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.

I'm holding an offer for 26LPA with 8.5 YOE with product based company.

I really confused to make a decision. Pls help
