Cognizant on Thursday said that approximately 80 percent of its eligible employees will receive a salary hike, effective November 1, 2025. This aligns with its announcement during its second quarter earnings that it plans to award merit-based salary increases for the vast majority of employees during the second half of 2025.
These increases will be delivered up to, and including, the Senior Associate levels. The amount of these increases will vary depending on individual performance rating and country. In India, pay increases for our consistent highest performers will be 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.
