Pros

Free snacks and drinks , time compensating and sadly that's it.

Cons

Since they took us from former vendors everything just went down. They have promised us many good things (for example salary review, which never happened) . Cognizant is looking just for benefits for them self and forgets employees. Last week they increased targets for 10% and let us know just a day before, what was very surprising, not to mention that they just increase targets but not bonuses uplift. After those changes, many people start looking for new jobs in other companies, even tho they are woking for Google maps more than two years. Management is very bad, no communication between vendor and employees, everything is just messed up.

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.
