Pros

- Good work culture - Brand name - Cognizant treats employees nicely (for e-g cabs and guards are provided for females working in late night shifts) - Onsite opportunities - Flexible working hours - Initiatives such as 'Cognorators' (a weekly to help the employees improve their public speaking abilities)

Cons

Along with recreation rooms, playgrounds for outdoor games such as cricket/ basketball etc should be provided in order to encourage the employees to be physically fit. This in turn will also lead to mental fitness and employees performing well.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
