Pros

1. Flexibility in choosing the role. 2. Also, once you have proved your value, the organization shows great flexibility in adjusting your personal constraints into the system. 3. Conservative and strong finance team ensures that the financial strength of the organization is always intact. 4. Also, in a climate of economic downturn, one of the few companies where a competent employee can work without the fear of layoff or salary reduction. 5. Option of multiple geographies to choose from due to the global presence of the organization.

Cons

1. Promotion and bonuses tend to get impacted by the large number of associates in each designation involved. 2. Easy to get lost, especially for management graudates among the technical crowd.

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.
