Pros

The company is growing and has solid business performance. There is tremendous talent in the organization who are very smart and very good at what they do. Market leader with a very impressive list of clients who are the 'who's who' in healthcare. Some of the hardest working people I've ever worked with.

Cons

As others have noted, the company needs to flatten too many VP's, etc... That comes many times from the rapid growth and not the full assimilation of employees, but needs to happen. Also, there is a lot of work to do and we do work too hard sometimes. However, if you're not working hard where you are, ask yourself what are you doing?

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.
