Pros
Cognitive has been one of my favourite places to work. Flexible workplace, they care for their employees, and the management and executive teams are hands-off and avoid micromanagement. Would highly, highly recommend. Great bunch of people
Cons
Sometimes the long term vision of certain projects is unclear

Was fine until new direction ruined culture, and massive lay offs.

Pros
Allowed to grow and learn whatever we needed to get the work done. I grew and learned so much while I was there. Employees were incredibly helpful. Company put employees first for a long time, after COVID lock down, no one was forced to return to the office, and permanent remote work was allowed.... until.
Cons
Absolute lack of direction, sudden drastic shift in culture. Ordering returns to office for all employees, and rarely ever got salary adjustments.
