Pros

They can open you the door to your first job in tech. They paid on time, no funny business there.

Cons

Many. Strict company policies coming from abroad. A 'customer is always right' attitude (even when they are not), which hits morale. Didn't feel like they invested in their people. Little benefits.

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.
