Pros

Excellent coworkers who are very helpful and pleasant, other then that this is a very hard company to find anything positive to say about it.

Cons

Overworked employees, this company takes complete advantage of all of its employees with no work life balance. It is an environment that operates in chaos with a lot of jobs being outsourced or in the process of being outsourced.

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.
