Pros

Really good company culture. They do their best to look after their staff and have very fair processes around pay and performance reviews, Lots of good knowledge sharing activities internally and they support the community by sponsoring meetups.

Cons

At least in the devops space, its the work that lets them down. Minimal new technology projects, they still seem to think build engineer = devops for a large part. Business unable to meet demand so they run at 100% utilisation all the time.

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.
