Pros

Benefits provided by the organization to employees are too good. Some fools ruined the work culture here. Don't just ruin your career.

Cons

A big list of cons. 1. Work culture here is completely ruined by some fools who came from India. 2. Lot of Racism & Regionalism by people who come from India. 3. Some fools work here as managers to ruin the career of young talent. 4. All Indian fools who are fit for nothing work here as Managers. 5. Even thought it has good clients these fools(Managers) are not capable of managing the projects. 6. These fools just for their safety ruin the career of others. 7. With no proper planning Hiring to a project and releasing them can be seen here too often. 8. All those positive reviews are again kept by few managers. Please verify you will get to know. 9. If salary is most important for you than career then you can join this company. "Don't just ruin your career by joining these consulting companies until the high level is cleaned just prefer a client"

Pros

A potential inroad into large client companies (Leave Cognizant ASAP) You aren't unemployed.

Cons

It's a body shop. Clients will view you accordingly. Contractors cannot be trusted with most tasks. You must be siloed (No room for growth) so you don't break anything. Your actual job is to fulfill gaps in the client's grunt work even if out of scope. If you don't, the hammer falls from client and Cognizant. Wages well below industry standards. 1% annual raises only exist because legally they must exist. Takes full advantage of H-1B slave system, where employees' families and homes will be thrown into a furnace if you aren't keeping Cognizant happy no matter what. Employees are complacent in their slavery. Management is just happy to get their extra crumbs and will reinforce the bad culture. C-suite is opaque. If you are familiar with India's caste system you will understand how "lessers" are treated. This also happens in a literal sense, you aren't totally safe just because you are the favored skin tone. Takes full advantage of modern white collar culture. "Your racist actions aren't actually racist if you aren't Caucasian." Expect the uphill battle to be even more steep if you're not Southeast Asian. You will hunt for your own work most of the time. Cognizant is not helpful in any regard. They exist to skim off the top and nothing else.
