Pros

flexible work from home policy for 2 or 3 days depending on project requirements.

Cons

10 days work policy where 9 hours of work and 1 hour of break is included. That means if your start your office at 9 am then you should be in office till 7pm which is a dent on work life balance. The offices are placed in metro cities where 10 to 15 kilometers of distance take 1 to 1.5 hours at rush hour between 5pm to 8pm. Poor increment. 3% for 3 star (70% get this) 4% for 4 star (10% get this] 9% for 5 start [5% get this] no increment for 2 and 1 star.

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.
