Pros

Good work environment. Nice colleagues, the direct managers are nice and competent and access to online courser for career growth.

Cons

Career growth is hard and dreaming with a raise is an utopia. The work is extremely tedious and the company's HR, who never have contact with the project's employees, will treat you like a number. No employee is important to them. When they wanted to cut expenses, employees were fired just because they were on probationary period and they didn't need to pay them any compensation.

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.
