I agree, but I have the opposite problem. All the women on my team are rockstars, and all the men, except the leadership, are slackers. So when we get a new male underling I’m always doubtful they’ll be o top of stuff.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!
