Pros

Empowerment, Competent people, ample opportunities for playing diverse roles Empowerment - Generally people at all levels are encouraged to make decisions and that help them to grow in confidence and become leaders.

Cons

Complaceny in folks who have been with the organization for long time - unfortunately they are in critical roles. Also few in organization buy collective failure or collective success philosphy. The organizaition tends to bury individuals based on a failure that discourages assocaites to take risks. We have not matured enough to integrate talent that we recruit laterally ande from business schools. Almost every lateral I know went thro' integration and acceptance challenges.

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.
