Pros

Got campus recruited, so its my first window to the Corporate world. Good on job training and Academy.

Cons

No planning from management what so ever. They can not forecast any risk.. Lay hands on what ever comes to their way. In spite of repeated cautions on implementation/skills/infrastructure issues, they dig up their graves and make engineers pay for it.They don't want to try some thing new, others are doing it this way so you do :)))

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.
