Pros

There's a Starbucks close to the building.

Cons

Where do I start. Management is very poor, HR is even worse. The work requires more than a normal work week and management doesn't care how many hours you work, you MUST get the job done. The turnover is EXTREMELY HIGH due to incompetent management and overworked angry employees. Don't bother voicing your concerns to HR because they sweep everything under the rug. All HR employees are ding dongs and that's being too kind. If you're smart, STAY AWAY!

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.
