Pros

Great people with passion to grow the business and be the best.

Cons

Focus is on rapid growth, but the path to that growth is not well defined by corporate guidance... especially translation to account or service offering strategy. Most of the growth within the marketplace seems to be organic and opportunistic.

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.
