Pros

Unlimited PTO can take up too 2 weeks at a time with prior approval from BU head

Cons

Interesting after the changes before July 4, 2015 where there were layoffs, re-orgs, people walked out of the building, that there were some promotions. Of course it wasn't made public, but check the Intranet and you will see. How is this allowable?

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.
