Pros

The project and the job itself is good

Cons

- Management department is horrible - They don’t care and they don’t let you give your opinion - It’s like you work as a freelance because you don’t have any help either for the job or issues with the company - You need to pay yourself most of the times because the company card is an American Express which doesn’t work in most of the countries. Not easy to receive your money back - Working conditions are not even reaching the legal therms

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.
