Hi Fishes,

I will be joining Cognizant in January as a Sr Associate.
Yoe -7.4
Tech stack- Oracle Apps DBA

How are the projects here and will I get project allocation once I join ?
As I dont want to be in PDP.
Also even after getting offer I got many calls from different HR teams for the same openings, so I assume there are many projects.
So kindly need ur guidance please.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

Hi Guy's, I don't know what I'm doing wrong at the time of refer anyone in the cognizant. Whenever I refer someone, his/her profile does not progress beyond the "under review" section.
So far I have referred 3 people and all three profiles are under review section and under review and " under review" is showing 0% for all three profiles. Please suggest me if I'm doing any wrong things at the time of the referral... And the job for which I am referring to anyone that is the latest only.Cognizant

Does CTS matches or raise the offer made by other organizations 2 days before joining date, I have got an offer over x+5 from another organization, but still interested in cts.
How do I proceed from here?

Hi Sharks,

I have completed all my pre-joining formalities & submitted all relevant documents. Once submitting the BGV got an auto mailer saying that it would take 14 days to complete the BGV. And the days are over now. Also, so far, I didn't receive any mails.

Do I need to wait or follow up with recruiter? Please advise?
