Pros

Compensation is good and bonuses are structured to be motivating. Because the company is young there is plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas, influence change etc. They are very forward thinkiing

Cons

It's a big company and easy to feel a bit lost as the various divisions don't always understand each other or work well together

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.
