Culture & Values

LIFE AT COGNIZANT

At Cognizant, we are a high-performing team with heart.

Our diverse community of 300,000+ people are working together to help transform the companies the world relies on. And when we’re not developing game-changing digital solutions for clients, we’re improving lives elsewhere by volunteering in local communities, fostering inclusion through our employee affinity groups and so much more.
Our team is as high-caliber as it is humble, caring and supportive of one another. We believe that continuous improvement is the catalyst for growth and innovation, and we offer the flexibility, support and opportunities all levels of associates need to take their lives and careers to new places.
Every day, all around the world, our people engineer impact―with their clients, communities, colleagues and their own lives.
