Pros

Good benefits plan in place. If you are in the begining of your career, this might be a good place to learn as they have variety o projects. However fi you are mid career and trying to balance work/life, then Cognizant does not give you much options. Once your project is over, irrespective of you like it or not, they might relocate you to some place else or ask you to leave!

Cons

Low Pay! Slow promotion cycles! Location constraints. See other sections also

Pros

Great Business model, Phenomenal growth and strong leadership

Cons

Consulting usually demands longer hours. Coupled with offshoring , it is always a 40+ work week. Such expectations are set right from the beginning though.

Pros

For employees joining in India, there are many opportunities to travel abroad. Cognizant's "Client first" policy that sets the priority clear. Headed by young and dynamic CEO, Frank.

Cons

No recognition for quality work. Lower compensation compared to other companies. High salary disparity between employees promoted and employees hired at same levels. Random adhoc promotion policies. Socialistic approach to promotion based on seniority. There are some exceptions to this where people with extremely high talent getting promoted soon. But, they are very few in number. HR policies - that never seem to make sense.
