Pros

Decent benefits, periods of decent work life balance. Good free barista coffee if work at main office

Cons

Most likely work with legacy tech Won't learn too much lot of mediocracy and inefficiencies that cause bottlenecks and deadlines to exceed leading to overtiming and cramping of work poor management overall of new grads, just mostly thrown work and not really trained to take over and take ownership

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.
