Pros

Just usual IT service industry nothing fancy or great as PRO. You work and you get paid.

Cons

If you have been transferred as nearshore location they pay you very less. Internal policies even stop you from getting promoted as you fall in bad geographical area. Pay is pretty basic as per standard market in Mexico with no extra benefits for folks being transferred here from India . If you are directly hired you might get some benefits but the management mentality remains similar what anyone experiences in other IT Services Industry TCS,Infy,WIpro or Tech M

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.
