Pros

Cognizant is a service based company, so you cannot expect to do only development in such companies. They have both development and maintenance for the developed projects. In some departments the pressure is high, but in some its very less. You get recognition and appraisal based on your performance and your behaviour towards everyone.

Cons

You may get stagnant in the same technology, and growth can be slow. May get testing job even if you wanted development. At times you may feel the managers are partial, and some politics may be there.

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.
