Pros

Compensation is not good but employee benefits are OK There are good learning tools and opportunities for associates in India. Has good brand value.

Cons

Employees are treated as only resources. Employee worth is assessed based on revenue they are bringing and based on profitability. Bad work culture. Management doesn't care about employee needs. HR department, Immigration department etc.. treat themselves as if they are superiors and doing a favor to associates by handling their requests. Always look for high profit margins.

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.
