Pros

Perks, trainings, flex time, cultures from all the world

Cons

Sometimes you need to have the correct contacts in order to be promoted. You will see a lot of people are promoted without having the correct skills. You do not receive feedback from your work and many times you do not know where is the company going with its customers (transparency)

Cognizant Response

Thank you for taking the time to write your review, as one of our most important core values is “give-and-accept-feedback”. Our employees’ growth within the organization is important to us. We have established various ways to support them in their growth, and are continuously evolving on this front. While these are available to all, perhaps not everyone has managed to tap into the resources or opportunities. Looking positively forward, we are confident that Netcentric’s future will bring bigger and exciting opportunities for all our current and future employees to professionally develop and grow. We value feedback from each and every employee, and always encourage you to approach your People Success Lead or Talent Management team in person with any concerns you may have. Thank you again!

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.
