Pros

In Cognizant you get a variety of roles based on competence and appetite. Your ability to shoulder more responsbilities is valued and respected.

Cons

The expectation on the Manager community be it Projects, Consulting or Business development is very high and is held accountable and responsible for many aspects not entirely in the control of the person concerned. Various extraneuos factors not under the control of manager decides his carrer advancement.

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.
