Pros

My team was very supportive, and I learned many things beyond just development work. I also had the opportunity to interact directly with clients, which helped me gain valuable exposure.

Cons

The salary hike is relatively low, and although the company offers work-from-home flexibility, salary increments are often postponed and not provided consistently

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
