Pros

If you are in the right project, you may learn a lot. But then it depends on luck.

Cons

No work life balance. Employees are treated like some excel sheet entry. They are just "resource". You are shipped from one project to another, without any career path. They change your titles to make yo feel good but you keep doing the same work and have the same responsibility.

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.
