Pros

Long term Onsite opportunity is good.

Cons

Senior management is not being practical, go for wrong solutions when there is a problem in a project :). Only finding it to be an overkill. Fully loaded Contracts for Clients with no vision/equipments(mainly quality of resource) to deal the conditions. Work-Life Balance is pathetic. Came here thinking that Work-Life balance is good but only to know that it is more a problem now days... Work Culture is pretty bad, Senior Management are institutionalized to think that more the time spent on office more the productivity.

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.
