Pros

What is shown in the paper will be credited monthly. Nothing else I could think of

Cons

Full of politics Even if they offer me vice president role I would not take it up. Purely Manager oriented company, can see why the attrition rate is so high. Company is sinking ship with only useless managers who doesn't value good developers even

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.
