Pros

CS used to be a really Great Place to Work.

Cons

Since the Cognizant acquisition, everything changed, especially culture and how projects were staffed. They recently sent out an email to some former "Collabies" titled "Regrettable Loses". CS has forgotten the basic principle that people come to join an organization, but leave because of bad management /leadership. Their email should have been titled more accurately "Regrettable Bosses". The recent reorganization and promotions of bad leadership into higher levels will only accelerate the turnover.

Cognizant Response

We are saddened by this outlook from a former long-time Collabie. We strongly encourage employees to have open and honest conversations with managers or Peoples Services about any concerns, as it is only with this feedback that we can continue to grow and improve. It is unfortunate your experience was different than most employees, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

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.
