Pros

Good work-life balance, good growth opportunities and overall a great place to work. It takes some time to get used to the culture but most people who make it beyond a year will usually stick around for the long haul.

Cons

As with any growing organization, managing a company of this size is getting more and more bureaucratic. Also, management needs to address the growth pangs of associates more creatively.

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.
