Pros

It is hard to find any to be honest. The first 8 months were good, but after it got a nightmare.

Cons

After manager change the entire team is not getting any support from the new responsible ones. 2 managers joined and it seems to be the biggest fail for a company. Tons of promises are not kept. Management and team leaders are only concentrated for their own good. No help when the company fails in paying salary. No help in missing holidays. No help when a team leader is harassing people. I asked for a move to a different team - it got ignored by the new management. I asked for protection against the TL who is screaming on me - it got ignored by the new management. I asked for support to receive a feedback - it got ignored by the new management. The worst one is a manager from Dublin - Promises and lies spread among the team. Nothing kept, no motivation from this person who is rude all the time (and this in such a function). No sport events, no incentives, no structure, no plan for the future.

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.
