I have offer from cognizant and EPAM, which should I join & my domain is Life Science in both

Cognizant offer - 26 lac (25.3 lac CTC + 70K Variable) & one lac joining bonus. Right now they're saying I'll have work flexibility but my friend's saying they'll say like this but after joining they may enforce you to follow 3 days Work from office. Note- ready to match EPAM offer but again variable will be there.

EPAM Offer - 27.6 lac CTC + 40K Gratuity & one lac joining bonus Work from home flexibility Account - Novartis

Note- But I heard negative reviews in recent days. But HR and manager said they hire me for tier1 client and project duration is long term.

I'm eager to hear from current employees or former colleagues at both companies to gain insights into:

  • Work-life balance: How flexible are the work arrangements in reality?
  • Career growth: What are the opportunities for advancement and skill development in each company?
  • Domain expertise: What is the experience like working in the Life Sciences domain at Cognizant and EPAM, specifically with the Novartis account? Your feedback will be invaluable as I make this important career decision.

Thank you for your time and insights.

In case you are planning to join Cognizant, let me tell you the HR will turn around and change colours just like Chameleons once you join the organisation. So think and decide. There is a high chance of the HR coming back and state that the client changed their mind and the project was unfortunately stopped. At that time, they might put you on bench and you might need to upskill yourself to get a suitable opportunity elsewhere within the organization. Yearly increment during the current calendar year for the best person rating 5 on a scale of 5 got 4.5%, either you are given too much work or else you need to come for work 5 days a week (if on bench), so in either case your family takes the back seat. These are few pointers to make you wakey wakey. But if these soaks in, and you are comfortable with it then do join. These are some common scenarios that are a daily occurance now-a-days.
