I remember when I joined Cognizant, excited about the role but unsure about the salary increments. In early 2024, I eagerly waited for my first annual hike, wondering if the raise would justify my hard work. Like many employees, I had high expectations, especially since industry standards were seeing fluctuations. The Cognizant Hike 2024 was a hot topic, and I was curious if it would fill the excitement or go low.
The Cognizant hike 2024 was decent but not extraordinary. The average percentage increase remained around 7% to 8%, depending on performance. High performers saw slightly better hikes, while others received an increment that barely beat inflation. I felt the hike was fair but not industry-leading. While it helped, I believed Cognizant could offer more competitive hikes to retain top talent. Overall, the raise was satisfactory but left room for improvement.
