Pros

Good for freshers out of the collage to gain experience. Good work if you happen to be in a decent account. Some managers are good and treat employees as human but Jerks are everywhere so beware.

Cons

Higher management only cares about moving numbers, agreed that what they are doing the business for but there should be a human factor. Lots of internal politics at the senior management level, affect employees. No god motivation factor even if you work for 16-17 hrs a day. No company offsite in years.

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.
