Pros

The only positive was the academy sessions that they put new college recruits through but it was a pretty stiff drop off after that.

Cons

I had a poor experience as someone new to the tech industry and as a junior developer. There was very little patience for on the job learning and little to no guidance when seeking a new project after the first one had concluded.

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.
