Pros

- sometimes you can work from home - office perks like fruit, cookies, etc.

Cons

- low salaries compared to other "cool" companies - the technologies you might work on are pretty limited due to the fact the the company customizes Adobe products - no transparency on how the decisions are taken - the management says the company structure is horizontal and that anyone can participate in the decision making process but in reality whoever is closer to the management get to decide and the rest just have to deal with it

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.
