Human Resources Manager (Current Employee)

I have been working at Cognizant Technology Solutions full-time for more than 8 years

ProsGrowth company, well positioned to leverage forge into 2015. Leadership is strong and focused.

ConsUpward mobility is limited with the review process skewed to force outstanding performers into a holding pattern while "friends of management" are advanced.

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't loose site of what got you to 7 B in revenues with your employees. To many restrictive changes will force us to leave.
