Pros

My coworkers were the best.

Cons

Thoughtless plans. It is sad to say they have a good ole boys network. They removed commissions for at least four women with some selfish plan with a tiny bonus option. I was about to close a 2 mm deal which I would not get paid on only because it closed 15 days late. I lost a deal a few weeks earlier because they did not have resources to do the deal. 1.4 mm to start and more work we could move to us quickly since we had a great relationship. the change in plan had no thought since they removed solution architects and had no training planned for months on how to do our jobs for new business lines and growth. It is not the place to empower you to be better since I was limited with what I could do all along. Why would you move solution architects to a sales role? They do not want that.

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.
