Pros

Good employee satisfaction. Good knowledge management initiatives throughout the organization. Drive for innovation initiatives.

Cons

Onsite opportunities restrictions for new joinees. Employee satisfaction varies within organization for different clients so if you are lucky u are in a good account you would be happy else your response could be extreme if u are stuck with poor paying client. Lots of redundant processes for middle layer management through cognizant developed reporting portals. Not the best of the processes being implemented everywhere!!

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.
