Pros
I AM NO LONGER WORKING FOR COGNIZANT.
Cons
Too many to mention, but here goes: they over-work each consultant, with very little pay for the level of work being demanded. They do not give you an opportunity to adapt to the culture of the company. They use you as a body shop as they do not have their own projects. Managers only care about receiving client revenue, and do not even care about the individual working on the project, earning them that money. Cognizant have a HIRE AND FIRE mentality. They use you until the project is underway, and then hire cheaper offshore labour. Their UK HR department is a JOKE! Don't expect any respect or appreciation of industry HR rules. There is no work-life balance at all, so don't expect to see your family, if you work here.
