|August 15, 2025
IT services major Cognizant will roll out salary hikes for about 80% of its eligible employees effective November 1, 2025, the company said on Thursday.
The move aligns with its second-quarter guidance to award merit-based increases to the vast majority of staff in the second half of the year.
The hikes will apply to employees up to the senior associate level, with the amount varying by country and individual performance. In India, consistent top performers will receive increases in the "high single digits."
"Top performers will receive the highest increases. Earlier this year, Cognizant paid most of its associates their highest bonuses in three years," a company spokesperson said.
