Pros

Not a single good thing found compared to CSC, ORACLE, GE and Other US companies where I worked, led and managed the products and services.

Cons

1. Dominated by south indian tamils especially in the leadership role, do not let any other language person, caste person to enter. 2. No creative thinking, Not a good place for one who has top 3 MBA graduate with secured 15 US patents and built 100+ million dollar revenue. 3. Quality of the Leadership team and internal operational efficiency is simply way below the standard. 4. Casteism, Language exists. Top Management and Senior do not have any leadership abilities, it is a cowardship. 5. You will report to someone who is way below your capability, Cognizant looks at immediate placement to the client, not really focus on candidate's complete potential.

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.
