Pros

The leadership is too busy playing around with their BFFS that they will never no if you are working or not.

Cons

-Girls Club ( if you are not in the inner circle then you don't matter) -I had 2 bosses there in my 10 year tenure that had extra marital affairs with subordinate employees. -Drinking to excess on the job is acceptable -HR non existent (they do not even office in the Malvern,PA Location) -Sr. Leadership who started at the Malvern location have wives who run competing agencies. (Can you say conflict of interest?) - In my tenure I have seen "inner circle" employees not show up for work for over 6 months. Then waltz back in the door like nothing ever happened. -The Malvern office is a bad high school party and it should come to an end.

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.
