Good company. However, don't expect much money!

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good for those who is on Visa (H1/L1). They file GC too. Benefits are also good. Pay half of your medical (no its not free!)

Cons

Consider your actual half salary going to Cognizant. e.g. If they charge 100 to client, you will get 50.

Worst experience ever in my career....

Java developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and location. I earned a gov't clearance, but I don't think it's active after leaving the project.

Cons

The recruiters lied to me as well as everyone else that they hired for a project. They mentioned that we would be developing software, but we ended up doing customer/production support work. We were on an on-call rotation and most of the time, we couldn't even fix the problems because of their horrible politics and systems altogether. Not to mention they actually moved me to a different group that were using older mainframe technologies. The whole reason I took the job in the first place was to avoid that and it gave me more reason to finally leave the place along with all the other many people who had left the project. The management was so flawed and even threatened to fire people just for taking short breaks in the lunch room. I even heard a case where an employee was assaulted by one of the managers, but also heard he lost his job eventually.

I am satisfied in Cognizant Technology Solution

Business Outlook

Pros

Cognizant Technology Solution provides very good flexi-times and other employee - related benefit which some times take-off un-logical work pressure from employee

Cons

More-over CTS it depends on your manager, Client etc. You cannot say every manager will be same. Every project will be good. So even though company policies are employee friendly, it actually depends on lot of other things
