Pros

Receptive to suggestions, a good employee can push to change workflows with enough effort, new technologies

Cons

Mostly no management. As an employee you work directly with the client, making the workload pile up for some people and be almost inexistent for others. Having to book time for each task or small little thing you're working on.

Thank you for your input and taking the time to share your experience at Netcentric. One of our most important core values is “give-and-accept-feedback”. As you already know, Netcentric is run and powered by Holacracy. It is not your typical organisational structure and it might not be for everyone, so it takes time to learn it and own it for yourself. But, once you do, it opens up new opportunities to grow within the organisation, it adds a whole lot of transparency too. We value all of our employees' thoughts, so please always feel free to reach out to your advocate or Talent Management team with your feedback and concerns.

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.
