Pros

AI focused and lot of learning materials

Cons

But you can't find time to use those learning materials productively, as you are already 100% billable working 40 hours a week for the client and, expecting high billing margin and constant pressure from Offshore leaders. Sometimes biased, retaliation for speaking up. Need to contribute beyond work hours on RFPs, Offshore interviews n so on

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.
