Pros

Good in relocation expenses and initial stay for US laterals

Cons

1. Tamil dominated company and all key decisions are taken by Tamil people,doesn't matter capability :) 2. Strong political environment,specially at Manager and above levels. If you are north indian doing excellent work, you will be thrown off the fence by Tamil group and your Tamil supervior will lead this efforts 3. No increment and very high expectations for less salary In nut shell, bad company for non-tamil people...

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.
