Pros

Timing are really flexible as you have to complete 9 hours in office you can come by 10 and leave by 7 or even come by 9 and leave by 6. It's totally depends upon your Manager or Team Lead.

Cons

I am working with Cognizant for last 2 years and it's really good experience. The only thing that I don't like in Cognizant is that your team lead or Manager will treat you like their servant if you join as FRESHER(Does not apply for all). If you are planing to leave from office all of sudden you will find that your team lead comes from no where and asks you to complete some work. This means you need to stretch a longer than you planned.

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.
