Pros

Has a revised salary package, has clarity on the designations from Entry level trainee till CEO.

Cons

Managers only know to dump their work to their reportees, Managers have a wierd attitude of 'I'm doing a great favour to you' for doing their responsibilities. Example: recognising your hard word and nominating you for promotion, according to most of the managers mindset s a favour done to the employee. Doesn't really feel rewarding for Hardwork. Too hierarchical. For a project, there will at least be 4-5 managers in different designations asking questions, wasting a lot of time.

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.
