Pros

Cognizant is a place where there is a lot of potential for growth. Being one of the youngest software consulting firms the growth and potential within the organization is tremendrous. If you have the right manager then the benefits are great and you can really achieve a fantastic work-life balance.

Cons

Cross-cultural diversity is dismal - and there is no easy way to say this but the company feels like an Indian company that just has a sales office in the US. Inter-departmental politics hamper work big time but then I dont think it is different in any other similar organization.

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.
