Pros

If job was as described, it would have been satisfying.

Cons

Rampant bullying, management was off-site and hopelessly ignorant of work environment, office converted to impromptu warehouse with unsafe conditions - to the point of violating fire code - yet company refused to set aside time to fix things, interviewer lied to me about my duties, company refused to allow overtime, company maintained employees as contractors in order to continually deny them sufficient pay and benefits, somehow terminated on short notice by a separate department as revenge for drawing attention to a critical documentation error, and so on.

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.
