Pros

Its one of a few companies, which is still posting good growth despite the economic slowdown. Hence from job security perspective, in the current situation, it does make sense to work for Cognizant.

Cons

Management is really dictatorial. Vital funations like appraisals and salary hikes are not at all transparent and process oriented. Depends too much on personal relationships rather than performance.

Pros

Good paymasters compare with other Indian firms operate business in US

Cons

I consider this company as a stop gap , but never be the company for professional growth. You come across ruthless BDM's, some time morons who can not value to technical expertise of the consultants, but ready to lick the shoes of the clients. But feel there would be more professional way of dealing clients. One point we should mention about is that dirty politics and incompetent operations team who do not even take rational decisions on deployment of resources on assignments. There will be lot to mention but in nutshell its just not the right company for career.
