Pros

There are few good experienced people. The projects with the scope of development technically and good work culture are found at the branches located at important cities.

Cons

Working in the projects in smaller cities do not have any scope of improvement technically and do not help in professional growth. The work done is not properly recognized or rewarded. The time management of the employees is bad. You are expected to work 16 hours a day and during weekends. There are very few development projects in smaller cities.

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.
