C2, my 7 years of experience at Slalom tells me something different than what you learned during your apparently brief interactions. I’ve been promoted three times and my salary is enough to help me pay off my house early. If you like Cognizant then go with Cognizant but maybe talk about things you know about.

@SC2, what BU are you in? If its CBC or CDB, it could definitely be different/better. Slalom is a lot smaller than Cognizant for sure. From a numbers stand point, Cognizant has some 250,000 employees and $14 billion in revenue. Slalom has 5,000+ employees and just reached $1 billion in revenue. Their growth is very strong. They are a lot smaller so definitely more flexible and able to adapt quickly. From what I hear, you get to wear multiple hats on projects. And little to no travel if thats important to you.

Is this a serious question? I have a ticket for resetting a password - cognizant. Enough said

Sc3. Just curious.. what role are you at and how much you make?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
