Pros

Good work life balance More strategic minded than competitors Great if you work in sales and marketing Flat hierarchy makes it easier to interact with senior management

Cons

Weak Delivery and internal processes One of the weakest and most biased appraisal process . Totally driven by bias and some HR driven quote without any regard to on-the-ground considerations. Promotion process is weak and given to people liked by boss rather than to performers. Promotion process is offshore minded. Not many promotions at onsite.

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.
