Pros

hahahah.. there is nothing to list here; strong culture of favoritism, where management consistently brings in friends and acquaintances from previous companies, regardless of their qualifications or ability to perform the job effectively.

Cons

This practice creates a toxic work environment where capable employees are overlooked for promotions and opportunities in favor of less qualified individuals with personal connections. It's disheartening to see talent and hard work go unrecognized due to these unprofessional practices. Additionally, the lack of transparency and fairness in decision-making processes further demoralizes employees. The company does not seem interested in fostering a merit-based culture, which ultimately stifles innovation and 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.
