Pros

Health benefits day one. Access to resources and knowledge on the company owned product, great opportunity to grow skills and network with others.

Cons

No 401k match, understaffed so worked long hours without any recognition or future incentives, unable to easily get approved to take vacation days earned due to backlog. Project specific cons: No time to take advantage of training opportunities that exist due to nature of project, not willing to pay for needed senior resources that doomed the project, no accountabilty of management, no culture of employee empowerment and respect on this project. Hoping project and managgers were an anomally, but do all you can to know the particular project and people you are considering committing to up front!

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.
