Pros

An extremely employee friendly organization, which does not believe in thrusting opinions on others , rather than works on the policy of inclusion. Good opportunities within the company, employees get time off to participate in training programs & personal chores...salary is not bad either..they continued to pay incentive even during the downturn.

Cons

Somehow folks running the show believe all IIM's & management grads are the best managers, most managers are high on intellectual quotient, but their ability to connect with people at an employee level continues to draw flak from within.

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.
