Pros

Remote, 2 weeks to change one line in the query

Cons

Bullies and liars works here. Purposely wants you to fail if you do not follow their approach. Do not work here if you want to start a family. No one is to be trusted including the HR and the Global Head. Just because they cry in meetings or show religious relics, doesn't mean they are honest. The stupid career advisor would want you to fail and will murmur failed test cases while testing your code.

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.
